[comp.databases] Help needed to choose DOS RDB.

alan@tcs.com (Alan Cooper) (05/16/91)

I need a DOS relational database.  The application consists of about 20 tables 
with the main table (6 fields) having about 65,000 entries.  I need to link 
ASCII text files and memo (Character fields >500) to the database.  The system 
will be used real time, so access speed is critical.  The application is for 
personal use and is fairly dynamic, i.e. I will be constantly adding features.  
I am willing to compromise all out performance for ease of programming.
 
Any recommendations.  I've looked at:
Paradox3, no memo (max 255) or links to files;
Alpha4, to slow, limited tables and no table view in forms;
R:Base, If I could just figure out the manual!
 
I'm interested in getting hold of evaluation copies of as many databases as 
possible.  If anybody has email or phone numbers of contacts who can supply me 
with these, please mail me.
 
Lastly if anybody is interested in developing the application for me and lives 
in Berkeley or 101 corridor (San Rafael to Petaluma) please contact me.
