Hey Jeff, it really depends on your needs. If SQLite is feature-rich enough for you, and you don't need a database server (say, single-user), then go with that. MySQL, take off the list, as its GPL/proprietary licensing is too burdensome, but that's what I use for all my client apps because I'm used to it and like it. I think doing it today, I'd evaluate postgres and probably end up going with it. Firebird would be another contender, but it seems to have a lot of legacy baggage. -- pkm ~ http://paulmcnett.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users
