    I recommend Interchange for this purpose as it will perform these
    functions admirable and MUCH more from a secure web based environment it
    also uses several types of databases that are freely available: MySQL,
    PostgreSQL; Not free Oracle. There is plent of documentation & help
    available for all of these; i.e. severla really big companies are using
    this scenerio. If you really do not need this much then look to
    SQl-Ledger for a simpler solution.
