Get Your Workgroup into Gear: Four Free Database Apps «

IBM’s DB2 Express-C is an excellent free database choice for many web workers. There is no size limit on your databases, and if you eventually decide your workgroup needs support, you can pay a very low annual cost for it. DB2 Express-C is a fully relational and XML data server, for Windows or Linux users. You’re not restricted by any type of universal template; instead, it’s very easy to create your own database applications, customized for your group.
Another popular free database choice to look into is Oracle Database XE. Unlike IBM’s offering Oracle’s does impose a limit of 4GB of user data, but that’s enough for many small workgroups and Database XE is one of the nicest environments to build a database in. Also, although the database is downloadable, there is a nice browser-based interface for managing your databases. There is also a free version for Mac OS X.
Microsoft’s SQL Server Express Edition is a free offering and is freely distributable. I would recommend this choice for a workgroup that wants a robust database application quickly, because Microsoft goes above and beyond at supplying training and tutorial materials as well as starter database schemas. For example, you watch over nine hours of video instruction on starting a database aimed at absolute beginners. You can also read case studies on useful databases built with the product. Like Oracle’s database, though, Microsoft’s only lets you build 4GB databases for free.
Finally, Zoho DB & Reports is an excellent way to get a workgroup going with a database, and since it’s an an online database, Mac and Linux users are invited to the party along with Windows users. You can view a number of sample databases built with it. Note that you can’t currently import a file larger than 1MB with it, so if you already have a lot of data you may want to look into something else.

I have been watching Crossloop for a while and so far I have been extremely impressed. Now that they have brought out a new version, I am now totally blown away. Profiles and details of your remote sessions makes this a serious tool in the remote access market.
both parties need to have the program installed on their computer.
But the part I REALLY like is the ability to set up a free account which you can then use to publicise your IT skills. Here is my page for example. People who do IT support for a living will find this feature invaluable as it will not only help you to advertise yourself but the page also keeps detailed records of each remote session. After the remote session is over, each party can then rate and comment on one another. To gain customers, you can put a widget on your blog / website / social network page.
If I had to nominate a program for Best New “remote access” Software Program of 2007, Crossloop would be it. No other contenders!
