Our company is planning a Web site in the near future. It will use BSDI Unix
for its OS. A large part of our Web presence will involve accessing databases
via CGI scripts. I have done this successfully using Windows/MSAccess, but 
will have to port my databases over to Unix and write new scripts. I am looking
for any recommendations for which database manager to use. Ideally, the MSAccess
data will port to the new database without too much fuss. Also, the program
should lend itself well to C routines which will be incorporated into the CGI 
scripts. Any comments, suggestions are welcome. Please feel free to email me 
at: tbird@river.biddeford.com or reply to the newsgroup. Thanks.
