Hello,

Sorry to be off topic, though perhaps not too far afield. I am looking for an easy-to-use, inexpensive database application for structured data. If you’re familiar with Bento for the Mac, this is what I’m looking for, but for Windows. Access is too labor intensive. AskSam is too buggy. I could use Zoot, but printing from Zoot 5.0 is too limited (6.0 might work when it is finally released, but I don’t know how long that will take). All suggestions welcome.

Thank you.

Steve Z.

Ultra Recall? It seems pretty easy to set up structured data in UR, with the added benefit of allowing additional supporting freeform information (web pages, PDF files, etc.) as children of structured data items.

I was wondering if I’d get a reference for UR from this request. I’ve got a license for an earlier version, but will have to try the latest. BTW, I noticed that UR will be on sale on Bits du Jour next week for $19!

Any other options?

Thanks, Chris.

Steve,

I usually use MySQL and its query browser when I need to analyze structured data.

Regards,
Wes

I bought a copy of Oasis for that very purpose when it was discounted a while back. I haven’t had an opportunity to put it through its paces yet, so can’t report on performance.
