If we were to move to Linux in the curriculum we would need a useable Database for our sixth form projects.
Sigh, Not this tired old refrain again? If you're looking for an MS-Access style database, good-luck. I believe Koffice is due to ship with something that is similar to Access. Truth is, the only *good* database the the students might want to use is postgresql and/or mysql. Both come with lots of pretty GUI front-ends, they'll probably have to know a bit about SQL and/or normalisation -- but then, it's not that hard. Failing that, try wine :) -- Thomas Adam ===== Thomas Adam "The Linux Weekend Mechanic" -- www.linuxgazette.com ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
