[Taxacom] Database collection software

[Χρήστος Γεωργιάδης]

Dear Colleagues,

After several hours dwelling into the technical jargon of database software for collection management I'm still at a loss...

We are in need of making a decision of which database should we use in order to register specimens in our Museum. We are thinking of splitting the collection in different databases on specimen data information but having the possibility of using the same tables for collection events and localities. 

Without putting any names forward so as not to bias anyone, do you have any comments, suggestions, or even hints and tips?

Thanks in advance to all who wish to help out in untangling this conundrum...
