Hello,

You can try OpenOffice.org database.

Either, another solution would be to use a MySQL database on an apache server, with phpMyAdmin. That's more setup, but then you'll be able to do anything you need ;)

Hello,

Go to Applications -> Add/Remove... and in the search field, type "openoffice base", you should see it.

Type Alt+F2, that will open a window called "Run program". Then, type "gnome-app-install" in the text field and click on "Run" (or any similar button, i'm not sure of the name since i'm on Xubuntu).

It shall open the "Add/Remove..." window.
