Oooeeer... You been watching too much MIB? Or planning on putting a
webcam in there??... ;-)

Silly quips aside :-)


Either of PostgreSQL or MySQL would be nicely overkill. Excellent if you
want to learn about using databases.

But... What more functionality do you need beyond that of just a
spreadsheet for managing a list of items?

Hence: OOCalc (Open Office Calc)

Unless you really do need the database functionality.


More interestingly: What would people recommend as a good database client?

Cheers,
Martin


New thread started. Please use "new" for new threads. Replying to an
existing thread with a different title is rather confusing!
