Since I'm not really a database type of guy, I'm somewhat unfamiliar with the commercial or PD packages available. As requested by my superiors, The software should have the folowing features: 1) Flexible design of data entry screens 2) arbitrily long text fields, with no fixed size limit (for long abstracts) 3) searches can be applied to entire entry or to certain fields 4) Fuzzy queries should be supported on text fields, but we shouldn't need to learn another SQL language 5) Command line options should also be supported Please mail replies to d3e101@pnlg.pnl.gov. Sorry if this is inappropriate for this newsgroup, but I have seen other such inquiries posted here. Thanks, Bill Eggers Molecular Science Research Center Battelle Pacific Northwest Laboratories
