What relational databases are in SuSE Pro 9.1. I mean things like MySQL. Are these installed and configured by default or is it a seperate install?
how about a data base that does not require an degree in database management to get it to work .. is that too much to ask ,
Do you need a degree in data management to use Postgres of MySQL? If you use the phpMyAdmin or phpPgAdmin web front-ends, then they are pretty easy to use. You just need to understand the basics of databases.
Or you can use OpenOffice as teh front-end via unixODBC and create tables, queries and forms graphically.
The database is just the backend. It is the front-end tools that make it clickety-click drag-'n-drop.
ReKall also looks like a nice front-end for databases, but I have not had a good look at the functionality.
I'm affraid to say that they ALL pale into insignificance (SP) when compared to the old Dbase III Plus system now i know it's an old dos prog but it blows the undies CLEAN OFF any thing you can mention i have tried them ALL to no avail , i dont need to know about SQL or quiries(SP) as long as i can enter records into the system and view /modify them in a decent form that will do but i can find nowt in the Linux world to do that . Grok Looked promising but it bombs out all the time . Linux IS the best thing to hit computing for a long time but issues like this are a Real pain in the Butt ..
