Now there was a program, I used it for while, but they made such a mess of version 4, that they Blackwell seemed to give it away to another developer, and gave back the upgrade money to users. It is still around http://www.bekon.com/

I have Alpha 5 version 6 here, with version 7 about to be released, not sure about Greek, but it is the best relational database I have ever used. easier to use than Access and capable fo far bigger databases.
