I am very happy to be convinced either way. Would you > recommend postgreql over mysql? If you are using Knoda as an alternative/replacement for Access/Paradox then you probably want to use SQLite. SQLite provides direct access to a local RDBMS in a file, and is easy to embed without worrying about installation, administration, etc. It's supported well by all the usual programming languages, and is free to distribute with your application. Very good for embedding in bespoke GUI apps. Otherwise I'd suggest MySQL for it's user-friendlyness - Postgres is only friendly if you're used to behemoths like Oracle.
