Revolution, MySQL vs FileMaker

[Luis]

Aside from the usual suspects there are two others that I know of:

SQLite     http://www.sqlite.org/whentouse.html

Firebird     http://www.firebirdsql.org/

Decisions, decisions... Insofar as I can tell both of these are free to 
use for whatever.

Cheers,

Luis.
