For a relational database, Filemaker Pro is about as straight forward
and powerful as you can get. Although FMPro 8. the newest version has
a number of advances which make it more powerful and supposedly easier
to develop with ( I'm told ). If your use isn't too complex the prior
versions 7 and 6 are OS X native, and are much cheaper these days.
Also, just as an aside, the Filemaker Pro software CDs will install
cross platform, at least in versions 3, 4, 5, and 6. The package and
the CDs say Mac or Windows, but they will install in either. Because
it's cross platform and the Windows people seem to get rid of them more
often, it's easier to find used FMPro for Windows than Mac.
Just my opinion. Try it, you'll like it!

This is true, but who is going to develop the web application to use
with the database? I have been able to link a MySQL database to a web
application using GoLive from Adobe but this is also a very expensive
application. Short of that, the user would have to take a course on
some of the new web technologies and use of HTML and XML and a few
other things. This is not a practical solution. You're also assuming
that the person has a working knowledge of SQL. MySQL is free and is
VERY useful but not for the average user.
FileMaker still gets my vote.
