Hi listers,
Firstly, I read on a tweet today that it's Ubuntu's 7th birthday today.
Happy birthday Ubuntu!
Now for the real reason for the post.
I want to create a simple database that I can distribute to others and
was hoping to come up with a solution that just allowed me to distribute
it as a standalone package in much the same way that MS users can with
Access. I want it to run under linux. If it was cross platform, that
would be even better but not essential.
I do not want to be in the position of saying that you have to have a
given package installed to run the database. For example, I could easily
produce what I want in LibreOffice Base but would then have to assume
that recipients run LibreOffice.
I have googled and the only programs that appear to come close are Kexi
and Firebird. Does anyone have any experiences of either or
recommendations for other packages.
I have played about with Kexi which runs under KDE desktop but it
appears to crash with boring regularity. (That could be because I favour
the Gnome desktop.)
As I said, the proposed database is simple and does not necessarily have
to be relational although it will contain many records. I want to keep
records of magazine articles from a variety of publications but can't
find a bespoke package that fits what I want to do.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
TIA
Bob.
