Virtually any database system out there would handle this in one way or
another, including Euphoria's database system. The key questions are
1. What is your intended application: web, desktop, single-user, multi-user?
2. How many transactions per day do you expect?
3. How many GB of data do you expect to add to the database in a year?
4. What platform will you be running the database on?
5. What platform will you be running the application on (depending on the size,
this may or may not be the same as the database)?
If you're interested in the learning experience, feel free to roll your own.
Database.e, included with Euphoria, is a great place to start. If you're
really only interested in the end result, use an existing package and
odbc or api wrappers.
