    As other have written, MySQL is the way to good. If you buy the FreeBSD
    CD MySQL is on the CD. All you need to is down load 3.51 ODBC drivers
    which work great with MS Office, or you can use PHP to write your own
    web base apps. We are currently using MySQL with ODBC and PHP and really
    love the fact that we can custom our web apps to the way we want them to
    work vs. the way out of the box apps work. Also take a look at
    phpMyAdmin or MySQL Center Control these are great apps to help admin
    the database. Plus, there are thousand of Open Source programs and code
    that you can find to help you.
