Title: a good database application anyone?
Post by: petesouthan on September 19, 2004, 08:20:58 am

Hi, can any of you good fellows recomend a good relational database to me for my 860?
I used to use handbase 3 on my palm and found it pretty good. Any one no of a similar one for Zaurus?

I'm not sure what handbase 3 is, but mysql is a good multi platform database.

If you just want something straight forward, portabase looks good.

Portabase rocks.  It handles a lot of stuff I throw at it.  I track time, expenses, workouts, have dictionaries and glossaries, pictures - even inventory all my wines.  All with a consistent interface.  And it runs on Linux and Windows desktop as well, so I can pretty much keep the data in the same format everywhere i work.

And you can export directly in XML and HTML (with Sablotron) from the zaurus.
