Re: [school-discuss] Re: [IIEP] FOSS database

[Michael Dean <michaelldean@sbcglobal.net>]

There is a client program called ReKall - I think its part of KDE that has a windows client so that you can have GUI access to postgresql database, which is also up and running on windows.  Postgresql is on par with Oracle, MS SQL-Server and while more complicated than mysql is further along the SQL standards curve.

I have recently downloaded OpenOffice and I'm still working my way
through it, trying to learn at the same time, but it doesn't seem to
have a database, I desperately need a database.  This is what I need
help with, if anyone has a suggestion of an easy to use database
through FOSS then please could you let me know?
    

You could probably contact Ingrid Salt <ingrid<at>bitnexus.net>, because 
she has made a fully integrating cource with OpenOffice and MySQL. It's 
working, It's greate, but It's in Norwegian. Contact here on e-mail, 
and you'll probably get a nice reply:
