In terms of how I'd do a DB, I'd use Tcl, Sqlite originated as a Tcl extension (it's even got the feather in it's logo)
Hell, Tcl 8.6 has included a package for database access, hence it could fairly easily built using plain ol' Tcl now (ish). Good thing I've compiled Tcl and Tk 8.6 for my fellow puppians.
But in terms of DB, I would be interested in seeing what people have developed for databases in puppy.

I used FileMaker in my olds Macs, and miss it very much. No matter what you say, I have never used - or seen - another tool making it so easy to create a database in seconds. But I think all the Puppys I have used, have some basic tools that cover much of what a very simple database is used for:
Notecase is a very nice and compact tool, with hierachical layout and internal links. Examples: I use it a lot for making overviews and lists of source links for people in families 'in work', that are later entered into my genealogy database program Gramps. I also use it to manage my work todo-list and my spare parts, for my old Dodge, and one main use is to list all puppy-related links and notes, my memory is not what it used to be! It can be exported as a .txt, .html or even as a standalone. Bugfree.
It also has a 'poor sibling' in the form of hnb (hierachical note book) for use in a terminal window. Tiny, quick and simple to use, also bugfree.
Osmo Apart from being a calendar program that can manage your tasks and todo-lists, it is also quick and easy for managing contacts, and can easily be used for taking notes.
Homebank is a tool I don't use myself, but from what I have seen, it covers most situations where a database can be used to serve your privat economy.
There are many specialized programs in the puppy repositories for managing your collection of movies, recipes, music or pictures, I cannot mention them all, but as an example, a program like Pmusic is installed in recent puppys. They are probably more efficient than a self-made database would be.
And I hate to say it, but Gnumeric has also taken over some of the tasks that I left to FileMaker earlier. I still have some heavy duty tasks that I leave to my over-large Debian, among them a database, but the frequency of Debian use is fast moving towards zero.
So the big question is: how many puppy users really need a universal database?
Do you think the picture has changed since this thread was started in 2007, and if so: How and why?

I don't know what was happening back in 2007, but sqlite3 works very well. It's also multi-platform, and you can ship the db around like a text file. I wonder how many people use it....it's a real gem.
Command line documentation:

I wrote a video rental webapp that uses sqlite3 shell for the backend (currently set up for in-browser javascript) ... if anyone wants to see a simple example of how you can use sqlite ... I am only capable of simple
It could be adapted for general use with the browser or I could patch the sqlite shell for use with gtkdialog (though I think the -list option should be sufficient for gtkdialog treeviews)
As a test I can write an awk script to convert the puppy package databases into sqlite3 tables as a practice project if anyone is interested in pursuing it.
Edit: alternatively we can uses the puppy standard flat file database ...
here is a way to convert them directly to javascript arrays:
Code: | #!/usr/bin/awk '
BEGIN{FS="|";OFS="\",\"";ORS="\"],\n";printf "[\n"}
{print "\t[\""$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9,$10,$11,$12,$13,$14}
END{printf "]\n"} |
... may want to wrap it in a callback via BEGIN and END for cross site capability like
Code: | #!/usr/bin/awk '
BEGIN{FS="|";OFS="\",\"";ORS="\"],\n";printf "petCallback([\n"}
{print "\t[\""$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9,$10,$11,$12,$13,$14}
END{printf "])\n"} |

It's more a language, so will be simple for developers to figure out. It's worth learning, since you'll be using it for all your android devices. I've got the MyLibrary" app (listed in Java programming) running on my Nexus with it. You can export the db anywhere exactly like a doc. The db itself is foolproof.

It's easy to transfer an sqlite database from puppy to all your devices using dropbox. ( apps like SQLed connect to it directly).

attn tallboy : a lot of databases
None integrates a picture. I am looking for a database which manages item by item, Like GCstar, datacrow, ppdb, Tellico but for a larger range of material, not only leasures, but machines, meals, softwares, furniture, ... anything !
But with the image. Not so easy to find, unhappily.
You seem to know the subject, i you find anything fitting our request, pls tell us.
and have a nice week'end.

Have you had a look at stuffkeeper? It's quite configurable.

You can store images into sqlite3 with hexdump, but a more flexible method might be to just use the db to store the names along with a folder of pix.
slideshow:
Code: |
echo "select * from images;" | sqlite3 images.db > /tmp/list
while read line; do viewnior $line; sleep 3; done < /tmp/list
