There is another data base for the Mac besides FileMaker

It's called Panorama and has been going since 1985   with  constant
improvements of course !
RAM  based  and relational  It is blazingly fast. Requires  considerably
less space than FileMaker or any other data base for that matter.Cross
platform , the only change you need to make is add the extension .pan to
your files .I am currently running a 35,000 photographic catalog
application at the Air Force Museum at Bullcreek  with 50 fields  takes up
5 Mb  Search and select on any field takes moments.Displays jpeg images as
thumbnails or any size you choose.
