I'm not sure what you mean by a database language. Almost all languages available on Linux have the ability to connect to a database. I'm currently using Java and Kylix (Borland Delphi port to Linux) connecting to a Firebird database. You could choose OpenOffice.org and the new database module to write applications similar to MS Access. If you do something like that you should give a presentation to KPLUG, assuming you're in the San Deigo area. Gus -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
