Re: simple database?

I would highly recommend getting your feet wet with a real database system like Postgresql. As soon as you start keeping records of books, you will find something else suitable to be put into a database system (companies, contacts, mp3's, etc) and it is easy to keep adding tables as your needs expand.
PgAccess is good. So is phpPgAdmin, it offers a browser based interface. Both give you a simple way to build Postgresql databases and once you see how easy it is to find, import and export your data, you will be sold on using a database.
Finally, if you are going to start using databases, you may as well use Postgresql because it is a database you can grow into. 

My $.02,

Brian

Hi all,
I've got a ton of books, and I was thinking about cataloging them in some 
sort of database.  What would be something I could use for that?  I hate
to go and try to learn postgresql or something, as that looks pretty
daunting.  Is there a simple database out there that would be good for
this?

thanks!
Jeff
