Single SQL Database

I am just looking to see if you guys would give any thought to an SQL database option that just allows 1 database.

In my example - I am learning asp.net / vb.net and use discountasp.net to make dummy apps for friends and such to test out real world applications.

10$ for 3 sql dbs is really an overkill for me.
Thats why ( for now ) I have just started learning with an access database.

Do you think discountasp.net would be willing to entertain a sql database for 3 bux a month ?
You currently offer this:
MS SQL Server 2005
MS SQL 2005 Hosting
- 300 MB MS SQL Data Disk Space
- 1000 MB Transaction Log
- Hosted on separate SQL server
for $10.00

all I am really looking for is something like a 50mb and 250 mb transaciton...basically 1/4 of that for a 1/3rd of the price or something.
(I dont really know what i need, but I know what you offer so far is an overkill for me )

Just a thought.

Very happy with discountasp.net as my choice btw. For now the mdb's do the trick for simple learning.

We have no plans to reduce the price of the SQL databases at this time.

What a lot of people overlook is the fact that you can run a number of applications from a single database. To make things easier to manage it is a common practice to use table prefixes. So, for example, if you had several different applications that all included a "users" table, you would just name them something like:

app1_users
app2_users
app3_users

Etc.

So all the tables relating to one application would have a unique prefix. That works well for multiple small applications, and testing/learning purposes.

 

That is why I was looking for a discounted price of just 1 sql db.
My intention was to make multiple tables - prefixed in there to play with.

Some places online I have noticed offer 1 free sql db.
I was not looking for a "Free" one. I am happy with discountasp's services and uptime. I was looking for a cheaper alternative.

Adding the sql server 2005/2008 requires another 10$/month. Thats an overkill for me.
Hense the ms access db still
