May I suggest you take a look at Progress. www.progress.com
This scales from "personal" size to large corporation (distributed)
sizes. And its very fast and very robust too. I've been using it since
1987.

Hi there CK.
Mind if I ask what platform you're running on?

You might try buying SQL The Complete Resource. It comes with a CD with
trial versions of Oracle, DB2, SQL Server and Informix. I think it costs
around $50 at Borders. Unless you're already a SQL whiz, you'll probably be
glad you got the book, too (assuming you're going to be the db admin).

StarBase, a part of StarOffice? Both Win32 and Linux, fully compatible.

Sorry, I forgot: and _free_.
Both versions: local (database resides in your computer) and networked
(database lives in Sun's server, your risk...). Star Office 5.2 is also
fully compatible with MS Office 2000 and can import lots of formats. Much
less fussy than MS apps, rather faster and cleaner, and much, much smaller.
