I purchased FileMaker Pro to build a database for the literature of my interest
in computer science.  Each record consists of authors, title, source, and key words.
I intend to create about 3000 records currently.  It will grow to 10,000 records
eventually.  However, after I created some 300 records and saved it on a diskett,
I noticed that each record takes about 1K bytes of memory!  Why does it take so much
memory?  Is there a way to reduce it?  Should I use another more efficient database?
Any comments will be wellcome.
