Friends, Thank you all for your replies and suggestions. I spent my Happy Independence Day searching a solution for my DBMS +frontend problem. And this is what I find the best. I shall use mySQL or Postgres as beckend (as suggest by Mr Mani) and for creating the frontend I shall use Mono + Windows.Forms. umm... WinForm is just to keep the illusion of those hallucinated. Now, this venture brings in a/few question/s regarding mono. ding! i need to start a new thread for the mono queries. ---- Raj Mathur Sahab, Its great to know that OO.Base forms can connect to other DBMS. I would like to know something more about OO.Base: - Can those OO.Base forms (using mySQL/Postgres as backend) be saved outside an OO document? I want to open the form only, not the entire OO interface. It doesn't matter if those forms actually use the OO infrastructure. - Does OO.base allow remote connections to itself? Can it run as a service like mySQL/Postgres? Once again, Thanks to all members.
