I have just one more question about Mac and database... other than
FileMaker (Pro) is there any other database that I could freely bundle
with my software package? It appears mySQL (now under Oracle) is no
longer open source...
An app has already been designed and developed and in the market for Windows users
I don't understand why you need a free databse for Mac ; Access isn't free !
you should consider porting your app to Filemaker pro.
Its Windows + Mac friendly, and can be ported on iPhone and iPad directly.
Development time are 3-5 times lighter on FMP than with Access, and xxx time than with a SQlite portage. -- Philippe Manet en fait, c'est manet avant @

Apple makes tools to end users ; for them, Apple sells FMP, FMP Go for interaction with iPhone and iPad, and Bento. These are fantastic tools. The dev version of FMP allows you to produce standalone apps at no charge.
If really nécessary, FMP can access to MySQL, Oracle and SQL commands.
Developpers who like painful things can use the builtin sqlite or install a number of xSQL things, it's their job. I've never heard of an "easy access" to those plateforms. -- Philippe Manet en fait, c'est manet avant @
