SLAG Advice solicitation needed:

[Ben Duncan]

Ok, I am moving right along with SLAG (My OSS AppGen replacement system).

Now, I am at a crucial step. Choosing the back-end data file access methods for
the Applications to use.

Keeping in mind, SLAG is designed for small and medium sized business. It has a
philosophy of keeping it simple (the current programming style is very FoxPro like).
System admin needs to be kept very minimal.

So far they choices run the gamete of :

File Managers:

VBISAM - A robust ISAM file manager with multi-key support.
SQLite - an embedded SQL file manager.
Xbase and XBaseSql and Open Source Xbase and Xbase SQL embedded
Sleepycat - The transactional BSD ISAM file manager


OR

SQL databases:

Postgress
Firebird
CA's OSS Ingress
MySql - geee, WHO does not know about this one?

Any Suggestions out there?
Once the file access method is decided, it will be very difficult to change
styles, so it comes down to "file managers" or SQL? And of choice of the two
methods, which one would you start with ....


Thanks ...
