I'll second the choice of PostgreSQL for the database engine, I have come to depend heavily on stored procedures which as I understand it are supported by neither PostgreSQL or MySQL. There are things that such an application would have to do that would seem to me beyond the reach of a database without some programming capability. I could give examples if it would help. This is why I was considering Interbase. Also, as Interbase is available for both Linux and Windows, a project based on it may gain more momentum. Perhaps someone knowledgeable on PostgreSQL or MySQL could comment.
PostgreSQL does have the functionality you are looking for. Try looking up triggers in the PostgreSQL manual. Michael
