- It really depends on the details of your application. If you doing a desktop application that is going to be used by a single user, the Access is a good way to go since you can just distribute the database with your application without having to install anything additional. If you are doing a web app, the something like Mysql or SQL Server would be better. The language you are working in will also effect this choice. If you are working in ASP.NET (VB.NET, C#) then SQL Server might be a better choice, if you are doing PHP, then I would go MySQL. IDan
- the general answer is "it depends" ... but without more information and given the way you phrased your question, i bet you need to build fairly simple databases, and you will appreciate quick results more than scalable, high-end solutions; in that case i would recommend FileMaker Pro
