[comp.sys.mac] Database Recommendations?

emuroga@uiucdcsb.cs.uiuc.edu (02/11/88)

   Is there a relational database for the mac SE which is considered "the
best"? The application is for a business with about 500 clients, and the
database will hold records with all transactions with those clients. The
database will be set up by someone not familiar with databases, so ease of
use will be important.

	I don't know if there is a 'best', per se, but for the use that you are
asking, I would recommend Reflex (or Reflex Plus) by Borland Int'l.  I have
used it for many different types of databases and have found it to be flexable
enough to handle all of my needs.  It is very mac-like and therefore easy to use
and set up for use.

    I've recently learned that the database must also be multi-user.
