I'm trying to convert my personal PC use from Windoze to Linux. But
there is a Win application that I've used for a long time for flat-file
databases: Filemaker Pro. It's much better than other simple Win
databases (eg, Access) and it isn't Microsoft!
Can anyone suggest a Linux alternative? My key database is a database of
my experimentation with bush food plants (yes, I know geek and gardener
seem somewhat contradictory :-). This has several fields that contain
bitmaps (photographs of plants). I know about SQL databases, but it
seems a tad overkill for this - and there isn't a simple GUI front-end.
If you insist on sticking with text database applications then how about
going to http://freshmeat.net and typing "text database" in the search
box? Here is a quick link to get you the results (161 of them):
