Hello,
Our very small company (3 people) is planning
to develop an in house DB app for managing the
common business operations dealing with customers,
orders, inventory, etc.
Initially it will work on a single Windows PC.
However, in the future it might migrate to a
Client-Server approach.
The main goal is to find some plataform that:
- is stable, does not crash all the time;
- easy to use, not requiring deep coding and/or learning;
- allows not only the managm. of tables and queries,
but also of forms and reports (or something similar);
- provides a good and flexible interface to the user;
- low plataform cost (free or under $100).
From what I've seen it appears that MS Access
is the most recomendable plataform in such a
situation. However, I would like to know about
other alternatives, namely:
* MySQL + Some Easy2Use GUI Client
Does it make sense use MySQL in such a situation?
Do you know of any similar examples that I can
learn from?
