Since you have that background Lee, I might suggest Microsoft Access, or any
freeware of similar functionality. Access is not really a relational
database, but you don't really care about that.

Over the years, I've used Access quite a bit just because it's there.
There's a lot one could say about it as a database tool - most not very
complimentary, but for simple needs - it works.

I'll second that idea. I use Linux for most of my stuff, but Access is
the Windoze application that I still reboot to use. No equivalent in
Linux.


You _do_ know about Openoffice.org, and the database package that's part of
it, right?

Anyone remember Dbase and Rbase for DOS?


Oh yeah. Mostly FoxBase,though - made real dBase look like it was crawling.

programming cave was in the lowest level of the house,

Had a sign on the stairs. "I do my programming in dBasement."




....and sqlite, mysql, postgresql, nosql, firebird and probably more.
