in reply to Which DB for Windows, and how to design music DB (was: databases)

I run mySQL on Windows and it works just fine. and hey! it's free.

As for interfacing with the database, you have the wonderful DBI module which provides the same interface for any database system you choose. And it's easy to use once you get the grips of it.

Hope this helps.

    And actually, there is very little grips you really need to get, with DBI. :-)
