Of course, i would want to make this with FreeBSD (eventually Linux). The aim of this project is to connect (may be via Internet) 40 distant sites to a central database server. All clients posts are PC with Windows. My questions are : - Which database server would you recommend ? I think about Postgres but may be there are others. - With this server, which type of clients would you recommend (www browser, ODBC client developped with Delphi or Visual Basic...) ? I think the major problem is to find a good server which can be used via Windows clients. The price is important because it's for an association which is involved in helping homeless. This is why i would want to use FreeBSD (among many other reasons). And it would be well if at least the server was free. Thanks you very much.
