Yeah - OK. Rumors of a new plugin. We've been promised a new MySQL plugin for literally years. Don't hold your breath or delay building any projects due to waiting on this vaporware plugin. Find another way to access MySQL. If you're on OS X, here's a potential solution:

In regards to having a database stored on a central server, I'd say MySQL is your best bet, powerful and free. I agree, the interfacing currently in RB isn't great, but it works fine for my needs!

There is also rumors of a new Database Plugin of some sort being available at some point for MySQL so it is a good choice for the future.

Can someone offer some database engine advice? I have been with Real Basic long enough to see them go through three database models and deprecate the previous one each time. I am tired of having to change my code, and having ask my users to convert their files - in some cases dozens of files. Also, I would like to have a system of multiple users accessing a central database on a company network - nothing too fancy - just the ability for a user to pull stuff in read only or writable depending on which things he assigned to have access to, and to prevent two people from changing the same stuff at the same time.

I am also thinking down the line. If I go with a portal based application
that would access the same database, I would need a generic database.

Can someone recommend a course of action, or a third party db plugin or
license?

thanks
