I would suggest browsing around on freshmeat.net to get an idea of what's available. http://freshmeat.net/browse/1088/ If you just need something for personal use, I've heard that OpenOffice 2.0 will have extended database capabilities. For programming, I'll echo the recommendations for Python, probably with SQLObject: http://www.python.org http://www.sqlobject.org See also http://www.sandpyt.org/Members/dmcook/python-databases.html (needs updating) I've also heard good things about http://www.rubyonrails.org/ (they even have videos!) But I've never tried it; Python already has the headspace that Ruby might have occupied. There's a project to create a similar web programming stack for Python: http://subway.python-hosting.com/ Doesn't look like it's quite ready for prime time yet. I've also played with hibernate ( http://www.hibernate.org ) for a while. Used with Jython ( http://www.jython.org ), it's really quite nice.
