[TriLUG] quick DB ?

[Reginald Reed]

Do they want to use Access to "access" the database or do they want a
Unix database with an Access like frontend?  If they just want the first
option, both MySQL and PostgreSQL have ODBC drivers that will allow
Access to do just about anything it can with an MDB file, but the data
will reside on the Unix server.

  I'm and LIS student doing research on digitization technology.  I'm
designing a hypothetical archival project for a library that has a Dell
server that runs Redhat Linux 7.2.  Does anyone have any suggestions of
a database software that is compatible and that is comparable to Windows
Access?
  Thanks,
  Donna
