I am slightly confused and have some questions:
1. In order to make this extension work I have to have a database on my web server? Is this not overkill for a small site and does it not have a performance impact on my web pages loading?
2. The getting started tutorial mentions an access database - what if I want to use a MySSQL database - is this not supported?
Many Thanks
Tom

Hello,
I will try to answer to your questions one by the time.
MX Breadcrumbs is a small free extension with which we tried to solve in a quick and as general as possible a programming issue that many of our customer needed but they didn't had any solution on the market. Because on that time all our extension were designed for dynamic sites this extension do not make an exception as well. Therefore the MXBreadcrumb needs as dependency a database to be present on your website.
The databases are fast, sometimes using some technics they are even faster then the classicals html based sites. Of course, as large as database became as slower a site is. In your case however I don't think, using a small database for the MXBreadcrumb you'll notice a speed issue. For example our site database has 4Gb of information and hundred of clients that connects simultanous and still has an acceptable speed.
We deliver the MXBreadcrumb with an Access database that you have already located into the zip package of the product into the documentation/db folder. However you also find in the same location a file with .sql extension: mx_breadcrumbs.sql This is a MySQL script that should be run into your MySQL server inside a database to create the tables that are needed by the product. More information about these tables roles, how they should be imported and used are located into the 2 pdf files also present into the zip package downloaded from our site.
I hope I was helpfull regarding your questions.
