[Indic-computing-users] Database

[Mita <mi...@au...>]

Hi everybody,
 
We're cataloguing the books in our library but are faced with a problem
: MS Access (which is the database program we were using because we
thought we'll print out the cards later) does not let us type the
Sanskrit/Hindi/Tamil names >>>>  would you know of any database program
that allows that, which is simple enough to use.  we would need to be
able to search by author name, title, subject, year of publication, etc
and keywords.  Ideally, we would be able to print out the data for each
book in the form of a card to have a hardcopy catalog in addition.  For
the moment, we're using Excel and we're told we could save the files in
a database format and import them into a database program later.
 
Any ideas would be most helpful.
 
Thanks and cheers
