database setup on win98
I am sadly lacking in knowledge about databases and how they are setup. Have a friend that has a small online business, text based. He needs to setup an information datbase on win98 so as he can search with good descrimination the dates and where and event took place that can discriminate between US dating and the eurpoean manner of dating. Is there some readable non techy text that he/we can manage to read. Most of it is far to difficult to digest for either of us. -- Keith Antoine (GANDALF) aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.

Have you considered an older version of MS Access --- say 97? Keith Antoine wrote: So do you want the frontend to run on windoze, or the entire DB? It will all have to run on windows.

Re: database setup on win98
You could either go with Access, Delphi, or Kylix. Good thing about Kylix is that it is cross-platform. I've done some messing around with Delphi. It's easy to put together a decent prototype without touching a line of code. To put in all the bells and whistles that the end-user invariably wants, you will have to do some coding. Kylix is much the same way. You can take a look at the free version of Kylix and decide if it is something you want. One other choice is to use HTML and PHP to access the database with a browser. I'm sure there are other choices as well.
