I have tried three different front ends now (Mysqlcc, pgaccess and tora), and all without avail, because they are all looking for postgres or mysql on a g to build the database on the same box. It'snot a server, it's a desktop workstation. I can build a db on a doze machine without a server (access) and can build one on my iBook with appleworks without a server, why must I set a server (totally lost on what that entails) in order to build a simple little db on the nix box? I only have two machines, and neither of them is a server, just the nix box and the iBook. I just don't get it...why are these programs looking for a server/trying to signb into one? I have used Access at school to catalog books, keep grades, etc, without any server, all on one box without signing into a server. Can't I do that here?
