Hello world,
Does anybody have any knowledge on personal database software for Linux?
I just-now made up the term "personal database software", although I would
be astounded if I'm the first person to do so. I'm thinking about something
kinda like Microsoft Access or Borland Paradox, but I'm not much interested
in the programming/SQL stuff (although I certainly won't complain if it is
there). All I want is something that will let me quickly and easily create
fields in a table, and link between tables.
Your description reminded me of an open source project called "SQLite", which is basically a relational database that is not a server -- an "embeddable" database (embeddable in the sense that you can embed it into an application so that the user doesn't have to go through all of the installation and configuration of MySQL, etc). SQLite is written in C but there are many libraries that provide access to it from other languages (Python, Perl, etc).

But it's not a visual tool like you describe. However, I did a little googling on SQLite and found a project called "SQLite Database Browser". It's implemented in Qt so it meets your no-Java no-HTML requirements, but runs on Linux, MacOSX, and Windows. But I have no firsthand experience with it so I can't attest to what it's really like.

If you try it out, would you mind posting your opinions?
Regards,
Erik
