What can I do? |
What do I know? - DatabasesI'll be up-front about this one - over the past couple of years I've mainly covered the databases which are bundled in Office suites. Before that, however, I covered desktop databases in depth, especially the xBase (dBase-compatible) ones. During that period I reviewed all the major releases of R:Base, Access, Paradox, DataEase, Approach, SuperBase, FileMaker, the xBase products - if it had rows, columns and a forms designer, I probably did a feature on it. I even wrote Future Publishing's first mail order and subscription management systems in dBXL - Future ran them for about four years before moving on to a UNIX-based system. Since then I've spent more time on Web authoring, although my coverage of office suites has meant that I've kept up to date with Access, Approach and Paradox.
