This may be outside what DLUG normally discusses. If so please say and I
will look elsewhere.
I am looking for free software to run under Linux to implement a small
database. A free version of MS Access would be ideal! Access is part of MS
Office professional and allows you to create and run SQL queries by point
and click rather than needing to know SQL syntax. My database would live on
one pc - no separation of server and client.
Initially I thought Open Office/Libre Office Base would do the trick, but it
only supports select queries, not Update queries, make table queries etc.
Access allows data to be imported from a .csv file into a data table, and
exported to .csv. In Base you have to cut and paste between spreadsheet and
table table or query - unless of course you write VBA modules which is the
hard way of doing things.
I have tried downloading a version of Firebird but don't know what to do
next. I cannot even find an install program.
Any ideas?
thanks
David
