You can use ACT! but it is very limited. Also you should be looking into on demand business software, that you can access from the web.\n\ntry http://www.salesboom.com

MySQL is the easiest to install and use which uses a client-server architecture.  It runs on windows and Unix-derivitives such as Linux.  It is also extremely fast and blows the pants off of SQL Server.\n\nMicrosoft SQL Server is a good choice for an enterprise-level windows database.  You will need very good hardware to get good performance from SQL Server.\n\nOracle is overpriced and very complex.  It's powerful, but convoluted and takes a lot of skill to manage properly.\n\nOthers to look at include Postgres (like MySQL but not as widely used),  IBM DB2, Sybase, Interbase (Borland)

In my opinion, look upto MySQL, it is the best database for your needs. Incase you have queries regarding its setup, you can lookup to the following professional forums where people discuss such problems :\n\n(1) http://forums.mysql.com/\n(2) http://forums.devshed.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=4\n(3) http://www.ahfb2000.com/webmaster_help_desk/archive/index.php/f-47.html

Please elaborate more on what database is of interest and what programming language you are looking for.\n\nIf in doubt, start by thinking about the platform you want to be programming on (Windows, Linux), what type of application (Web, Desktop), what type of licenses (Open Source, commercial) and we will be able to guide you to what you should be looking for.\n\nEasy does it!

First you need to know what you want the program to do. If you want to keep track of information, you'd be best with a databes. If you want to do stuff in windows, you'd go with VB. \n\nPlease flesh out your needs some more.\n\ngreetz\nGB

This takes a long time and the experience of someone who understands databases.  You will save time and money by using Microsoft Small Business Accounting, Quicken's Quickbooks, or Peachtree Accounting.
