Greetings,
Anyone have a recommendation for a database application that I'll have to
design (a few text fields and a photo or jpeg field) for cataloging costume
jewelry?
Need something that has a reasonably low learning curve and able to output
to delimited text of some kind.

Open to ideas. THX.

SQLite. I've used it and found it was great. Here's a link to a page on
their site that will help you figure out if SQLite is right for you:

you could look at "collection managers" like Tellico
http://periapsis.org/tellico/ Something like this would serve your purpose
and have a minimal (if any) learning curve.

Thanks, guys (for the links as well). I'll look into both.

Kexi seems to be simple and allows pictures. It should be in the standard
openSuse repositories or on the DVD.

Rekall is another.
