Check your speedRekall is a database front-end. It is not itself a database -- data is stored somewhere else, in an SQL server, and Rekall is fundamentally just a tool to extract, display and update that data (of course, it does lots more than that, it does forms and reports and scripting and so on). It is database agnostic, and does not have any preferred database in the sense that Access® uses the Jet® database engine.
* Supported SQL servers
Currently, Rekall supports the following database formats:
MySQL
PostgreSQL
XBase with XBSQL (an SQL wrapper library for the XBase access library)
IBM DB2 (optional)
ODBC (optional)
The above list will be expanded later. We plan to add drivers for Oracle, MS SQL Server/Sybase and Interbase/Firebird. Please note the ODBC and DB2 drivers are not included in the standard edition of Rekall; they have to be purchased separately. Also you will need a fully licensed copy of the Database Server for the selected driver.
* Features
Rekall can do all the things that you would expect of a database front-end (or if it can't, let us know!). You can design and use forms and reports, construct database queries, and import and export data in several different formats (actually, you can copy data -- import is just copy file to table, and export is just copy table to file).
* Scripting support
Rekall can be scripted using the the Python language. You can arrange that a script is executed when various events occur (for instance, when the user changes the value of a control). Scripts can be associated directly with the event, but you can also store scripts in script modules for more general use.
And, of course, you have full access to all the modules that are available for Python. Plus, Rekall has an integrated Python debugger, and uses our own tkcEditor to support syntax highlighting.
