Charles,
I need something I can do stock portfolio management with for
one. I can download my positions from my broker in comma delimited
spreadsheet format. I want to to do historical comparisons & various
analyses of my own. Half database/half spreadsheet problem.
I need to
1) store tables of data,
2) construct some spreadsheets w/ calculations,
3) from disparate sources (comparisons from various dates)
and portfolios,
4) etc.
I also have several other half thought out applications. Most
of the data input would be from computer readable sources. Largely single
user (max 6 users later), low volume and modest data base size, but the
data may get rather complex.
My next question would be, "What documentation is there for
InterBase for Linux?"
Yes, I would like to see transaction support. I'm not looking
forward to creating I/O if there is there an adequate package available.
Finally, where do I find it?
Many thanks.
