 Simple Database Software for OS-X
Hi, I have a series of spreadsheets containing the details of hundreds of families of the same name in a particular location and would like to set up a single database to hold the lot for my personal use. I don't want to use Access and have no experience in creating databases [though I'm very good with spreadsheets!  ] Can anyone recommend something that is Mac friendly and easy to use?Many thanks, Tanya  |

FileMaker Pro. It requires a slight knowledge of databases, but comes with tutorials and samples to help you set it up. (I'll have to take issue with the Things recommendation -- it's not really a database app at all, and is heavily geared toward the GTD method of doing things. It's more of a checklist/to-do app, not an app to store quantities of data in a spreadsheet/database-style fashion. Great piece of software, but I don't see how it relates to needing a database.)
