Re: How do I choose a database program?

It depends on your 'user' requirements, and your programming savvy.

Anything from an XML file to MySql would work, Access is a good program, but
all users that need to 'access' the data will need a copy of the access
program, and/or someone will need to build a 'front end' using one of the
many web technologies and/or programming language.

So to answer your question -- It depends. You need to work with the board
and firmly establish the 'user requirements'
