I'm seeking recommendations for a Mac database.  

The application:  About 10 tables (files), with 1-20 fields per record;
the largest file will have 5000-10000 records, the others much smaller
(< 500); one-to-many and many-to-many links between files.  The users
are starting out inexperienced, but will have access to the developer
(me). 

The hardware:  Mac SE/30, 2Mb ram, 40 Mb HD.

The ones i'm looking into are DBase Mac (saw an impressive demo),
FoxBase+, 4th Dimension, Double Helix II, and Oracle.  Any others?  Any
of these i should avoid?

Send me email, and i will post summary of responses.  Thx.
