Re: [baseball-databank] data format (to List Newbie)
Actually I was just curious what other people used and how extensive any systems they built are. I'm personally using an Oracle 9i database with Oracle Forms to keep track of my data.

I use MySQL. It lets work on FreeBSD, Linux, Mac OS X, and even carry my database around on my Sharp Zaurus (PDA).
One sub-project I'm working on is converting the BDB to SportsML (an XML dialect). It's just pieces of the BDB in flat files right now (I haven't had much free time the past couple of months), but I plan to load it into a native XML database soon (eXist and/or the new DB2).
MS Access was a good introduction to databases. And for a single user, will probably do everything you want it to. When you want to connect it to other services (like serving web pages) is when you'll want something "more robust." (MS Access 2.0 - the 16 bit version for Windows 3.1 - was the product's pinnacle. Its usability has suffered from feature bloat ever since.)
