Which a database or database-driven software?

I am having a hard time to find the right database software for my computer. I appreciate it for your help.

Are you familiar with FileMaker Pro and/or ColdFusion? Do you have suggestions for me to get one?

I know a little on html, and I do know how to use the Dreamweaver 8. I forgot how to use the C or C++.

Is there other company that sells a database software?

I guess that nobody knows the database software so I'm stuck now.

A dealer from a FileMaker Comany emailed me that I need to buy two software, and I don't want to spend more money for two different things. I want to use one that runs with my Dreamweaver for a database - for the internet.

He suggested me to buy a FileMaker 8.5 and FileMaker Server 8 Advanced. The Server 8 Advanced is the most expensive one of all. My best assume that I should buy Mac OS X Server software instead of the FileMaker Server 8 Advanced because I think that those software are similar.

The reason is that an Apple Xserver computer comes with the Mac server software. That would be wise. But, I am not sure that I am doing the right thing. For instance, supposedly, I have the FileMaker Pro 8.5 and Apple Xserver computer so that it would save my money. Am I confusing you?

well i dont know much about filemaker studio, but i liked coldfusion a lot when i worked as web developer.

too bad not everyone knows much about these stuffs. :^/

Ohh nvm! I thought you talk about the Filmmaker Pro, but sorry I don't know about the Filemaker Pro.

You can get MySQL, Oracle, or DB2 to connect with it. MySQL is free (unless you want support) while with the other two, you can get an express version free to use as you wish (read the details on that).

I have Oracle and MS Office Access.

FYI, Oracle is hard. especially with PL/SQL.

I understand where you are coming from but I'm a programmer and such things are relevantly trivial for us. Besides, I absolutely love Oracle and maybe that puts it in a different light as well.
