I am currently building up a database of computer equipment here at
our site, to be used to track the status of various pieces of
mainframe and workstation hardware.  I would like to organize this in
several seperate databases, with a unique ID for each individual piece
of equipment linking the records across databases.  Currently I am
using Excel v4.0 to store the data, but it is apparent that this is
*not* an acceptable solution.

I have had experience doing professional database programming for both
DBase IV and FoxPro, both running on IBM PCs.  Although I am familiar
with Macs (I am the system manager for our group), I am not at all
familiar with the different databases available for them.

I would prefer a relational or object-oriented database program.
Could you provide me with suggestions as to which database program is
best for my needs?  I would appreciate discussions of strengths and
weaknesses of the database program.  Otherwise, could you point me to
a place to look for this information?

Please send all responses to me at lishka@dxcern.cern.ch.  I will
write up and post a summary if there is interest.
