[Hidden-tech] suggestions needed for a relational database

[Scott Main]

Keri:  
If you are just beginning your database design, then MS Access is good cost
effective place to start.  It's a good place to prototype quickly and to
begin deciding what you really need from the data you are collecting.  Once
you are comfortable and know what you may use for a 'front end', a web
application, client application or just reporting then you can upsize the
table to a more robust database like SQL Server or MySQL etc...

Subject: [Hidden-tech] suggestions needed for a relational database

I'm looking for suggestions for a cost-effective and user-friendly
relational database to be used for managing data collected for a project
involving a range of after school activities for school-age students. 
 
Thank you.
