Dbms

[Darth_Vader]

Hello, I am trying to develop a program that uses data from a DBMS.
But the problem is that I don't know which one(DBMS) I should use.
The program is going to handle a couple of tables with a few thousands of records each.
I have in mind MS-ACCESS and MySql but recently I discovered FIREBIRD which is released
under the GPL licence(completely free to distribute with my application or at least this is what
I understood).I am new to theese matters so please I need your advise...

If you are new to these matters I would recommend Access. Just becuase it is easiest to setup and maintain.

Though if you would like to invest a good amount of time you could try MySql or SQL Server 2000 (which is also free). Until you have the basic ideas of databases and how they work you should stick with Access.
