Have you identified the real data needs of your application? What sort of a database do you need? Is xBase enough? Is OODB too much? RDBMS or Network? Maybe all you really need is a cookie. Or perhaps a well-designed XML schema will suit your needs. And once you've collected all that data, what do you do with it? Is it structured in a useful way? Does your data give you the answers you really have to have?

In recent years, we have concentrated our efforts on two of the leading database platforms.

Windows

On the Windows platform, we have concentrated our efforts in developing for Microsoft SQL Server. It is a full-featured, robust enterprise-level platform that is widely available from IPPs and other Web hosting providers.

Other

We have used many other database platforms for various projects in the past. A partial list of these platforms includes:
