Hello there, no offence but that questions is not answerable. I wouldnt expect many replies. Let me try to help you out by asking YOU a few questions which might point you into the correct direction:
1) Is the data entered once and than mostly read access or is it frequently updated ? 2) Do you need transaction support ? 3) Do you need the data to be EASY transferable between different OS (MAC/WIN/Unix/Linux) ? BTW: You posted into another thread (which is not good). I suggest you think about the above questions and start a new topic again.
