Delphi 6 is very good It has the advantage that you can use dbexpress
and write an app which will run under windows AND linux
This is what I am using (along with Visual C++ and VB)

There's an ODBC driver for MySQL. I've had folks using it for things
like Crystal Reports and it works OK. That is, I haven't seen any
problems in the driver itself. However, I remember both Crystal Reports
and MS Access having problems with the size of the intergers returned
from MySQL. My guess from there (since I don't program outside of *NIX)
would be something like C++ (MS or Borland are two big names that come
to mind), or even MS Visual Basic.

You remember what "BASIC" stands for, right? "Beginner"
