After finally burning out on Bento, I looked around and decided to purchase a copy of iList Data. I have been thrilled ever since. This is THE program that very Bento user should be using. It is a truly functional database program that is easy to use, comes with a great manual, and many pre-done examples that can either be used as-is or easily modified. After downloading and installing I was up and running with my first from scratch database in 30 minutes. I'm no expert (hence my first foray with Bento [sad to say versions 1, 2, AND 3- okay I am a slow learner), but I am thrilled at the report and searching capability, the full (and easy) ability to edit fields after the database is created and populated (artistic expression on the fly!), and the graph/statistic generation. It's easy to create custom reports and field views. Contextual help is great. The best part is the ability to edit pre-fab examples to create a "custom" database in about a third of the time. I've now converted all of my Bento databases into much richer and useful iList Data databases (and then deleted Bento from the face of my Mac forever!). The only downside of iList Data is that I found it by accident; they need to advertise!
Yeah, and SQL DB for me!

I had been searching for a better way to keep track of my small business customers with ease of use. I had recently had a computer melt down and had switched to Yahoo store for my business. I still like old fashioned mailings for sales anouncements and needed and easy to use and easy on the eye DB application. I had used SQL based DBs in the past and knew it was a stable environment for keeping records. The other DBs can get blips and singularities if they go over 500 records. So, SQL is good stability, especially as a one person biz, losing records and starting over is not an option. iList will be much easier to back up to iDisk for me!
I was happy when I found iList. Simplicity is the key when you are the only employee at your business! I had been at MacWorld and looking at Bento/Filemaker Pro and other DB apps and I don't need that many bells and whistles, and certainly not the bloated price on some of the other Mac based products.
Now, if I can just talk them into creating a plug in for Purchase Orders and Invoicing, which was the only other reason to consider other DBs. So, how about it? I like my Purchase ordering clean and simple;)

I was looking for a DB for private use and looked into Bento (new from the Filemaker people). This was not enough. On the other side Filemaker is too big and expensive. Now I found this IList Data, which is at least 90% of what I was looking for --- for a really fair price. Handling seems to be not always straight forward and consitent, but my first little apps worked fine. Some ideas for improvements I will post directly to the developer. Nice would be some more im/ex-interfaces especially for mac-typical apps (Mail, iCal, AdrBook, Numbers, ...). Support for applescript could be helpful.
