Firstly, I'm not a Mac fan but from the list, I've read that it is possible.
Someone else may shed a light on this.
Since your not programmers, MS Access would be the easiest to use and set
up. Oracle, MS SQL server may be way too complicated without assistance.
However, Access doesn't handle a large number of "visitors" at any one time
very well.
MySQL may be suitable but some amount of skills would go a long way in being
able to use it. If you use one of the mysql gui interfaces, it will make
admin a little easier.
As for GoLive, I have never heard of it. If it's a simple HTML editor, then
I wouldn't think so. If it is able to use ODBC then I can't see why it
shouldn't be possible to connect to MySQL. You'll have to check the GoLive
manual on this.
