> Really? How well do Access or Filemaker work with MySQL or with databases that they did not create?

Sorry to say this, but Access actually works quite well with a MySQL database it didn't create. I've built a fairly large database app using that combination, and it's been in production use for about 5 years and used by several people in a non-profit organization. However, for obvious reasons I'm on the lookout for alternative platforms to reimplement the app on something more solid, free etc., and Glom certainly looks interesting in this regard.

With Filemaker I guess you wouldn't get very far trying to use something like MySQL or PostgreSQL.
