That assumes a lot :) My needs are simple. I'm exploring. My only real db is a collection of 5,000 quotations, book passages etc. Flat file would probably even do it. But I like to learn. Converted to sqlite with no problem. But I'll try Postgres, just for fun. I guess I was drawn to MySQL only because it's part of a WordPress site/blog I operate, and the conversion tools from Access to MySQL were a snap. > In terms of data entry; if you're able to extend the idea of GUI a > little, why not use web forms?
