Hi to all!

I´m really new on REALbasic (and I hope to continuing being new for at least 2 years), so I hope to be in the correct list (I was some confused while choosing the correct list) -if not, please, tell me-

Now, I'm programming since 10 years ago, but ever being involved on databases (begining with Clipper, if someone remenbers), the latter thing was about FileMaker. By other part, I also use a lot AppleScript. I define myself as self-taugth person (I learn better from examples than from the better courses, although I give also a choice to the books. My target to use REALbasic is because I'm preparing a cathalogue of the products that I sell (nothing involved on computers) and, ater trying with FileMaker I saw a lot of things that my final clients (almost 99% PC users) doesn´t like and that FileMaker doesn´t give me the choice to use another thing. I tested 4D, but, because I found on some clients that the 4D Runtime takes a while to start, and because it'll be a new programming language to learn, I thougth to give a choice again to REALbasic (I know about REALbasic since v.3 or earlier).

So, my questions on this mail to the list are:
* Did I made the correect decission? (i hope yes for sure)
* I´m thinking about using REALbasic database, but also I find a little lack of documentation about this point, Where may I find more documentation about this?, or Do you advise me about other database? The use I'm thinking now is to hold data (some of them relational) about my products to be shown in an electronic cat, together with pictures, and, eventually, modify some records, so I could change prices, or other data about the preferences of the final user.

I use a Mac and the Demo of REALbasic 5.2 (I like to make some tests, and, when I'm sure to have the correct tool, purchase the license)

O.K. thank you for now, I hope to help to the list in about 2/3 years 8-(
