Right now I have several extremely large text documents on a unix server. Those documents are run through a perl script which breaks out each individual record into a seperate text file. When a person wants to search for a particular record they use a php search page which finds and displays the appropriate document (record). I fully realize the problems in this situation and am working to correct it, ie get the records into a real database.
The move to windows is due to the current unix host being old, we won't be buying any more unix machines, but we do have a very nice new win2003 server. So I will be moving the data to the new machine and retiring the unix server. There are other political issues.
So the long and short of it is that I need a windows database that is searchable via a webbrowser. I've been looking at filemaker but according to their product diagram I would need the $2500 version. Spendy!
