database questions

[John R. Brauer]

Hello all,

I am a newbie. I am working on a project which will require that I 
store data in a database (a separate record for each client, and about 
six hundred fields per record). Each time it is used, it will need to 
generate a new record for that client (it is a program that will 
administer and score an exam of sorts) My questions:

a) which database would you suggest (I guess that Oracle, MySQL and 
Valentina are my options)?

b) is there an internal way of doing this instead of one of the above 
databases?

c) will the standalone app then incorporate the database functions, or 
will the enduser be required to have the database in question installed 
on their computer as well?

Thank you much...


Sincerely,


John R. Brauer, Psy.D.
