Hi Samy, my english is not very good so it's a bit hard for me to draw out the correct word from your mail. There are a lot of DBMS or RDBMS available on the net. First you have to focus on the dataset you have to deal to, then you can chose the database management system that fits your needs. Mini SQL is a light weight relational database management system. It has been designed to provide rapid access to data sets with as little system overhead as possible. The system itself is comprised of a database server and various tools that allow a user or a client application to communicate with the server. There is a front end (called msql) to interact with the DBMS and some tools to administrate the system. There is, also, a set of API which allows any C program to communicate with the database engine. On the msql web site there is a section on which you can find several useful tools. mSQL can manage only a subset of the SQL language. I used mSQL for my web site togheter with PHP, while for stand alone task I used the tclmsql module to build some gui. Actually, msqltcl which works with tcl/tk <= 7.6/4.2; has a very nice gui called mmon (msql monitor) which you can easily use even if you don't know any tcl at all. If you need a powerful RDBMS, then use MySQL. It' s a bit more hard to setup but is really powerful and fast. I am currently using MySQL instead of mSQL. Hope this helps, and please try to read twice your mail before posting it because for non english mother-tongue is really difficult to understand what you write.
