A good( but free) alternative to Microsoft Access???Anybody know where I can find one

[dcpsoguy]

I am simply looking for a program that is as good as Microsoft Access in making databases. THe database program must be free, or shareware. Anybody know a good one?

This is more for database management, but might be helpful.

Does StarOffice come w/ a databasing tool? Why yes, yes it does. Download it now!

mySQL? i know it's free, but i run it on my webserver.

corel ships with borland DB stuff.. cheap.

i'm sure there's -something- out there that fits your need very cheaply or free. what is it you'd like to do with the DB? web-related stuff? home? office?

StarOffice is what you need.

Star Office,

Can it create MS Access Databases???( the .mdb extension).
For those of you that have Visual Studio Enterprise Edition, it comes with a program called VisData. You can create MS Access Databases with it, foxpro databases,etc. I am looking for a third-party program that I can create MS Access Databases with, but it has to be better than VisData( It needs to have a primary key feature, like MS Access. Or does anybody have a version of MS Access that I can borrow??

I need MS Access or a third-party replacement for MS Access for COldfusion web development.

Anyone?

I haven't used access much, but I have StarOffice on one of my systems here at work, and it looks like StarBase can create files of types:

DB2
dBase
JDBC
MS Access 97
ODBC
Oracle

Hope this helps.
