I would not be brave enough to say which is the *best* low end DB.
We use the data base section of MS Works for simple, flat d'base
work, especially for print merge jobs as it integrates smoothly
with the WP in works. Also the record selection technique is incredibly
easy to teach to office staff, as is reporting.

For Pseudo-relational work we use Filemaker II, soon to be upgraded
to F'maker ii pro. It's also excellent. MS File is getting a bit
dated now but plenty of people still use it. Best? who knows?
