I would to have a database that:
1) stores all the property addresses and names in all counties in only a single state, so efficiency is a factor.
2) allows for multiple people to access the database at the same time and make changes to it.
3) is installed on multiple computers, so price is a factor
4) has a relatively small learning curve
5) is compatible with excel, since a lot of calculations to manipulate strings (e.g. addresses) is necessary before info is imported into database, UNLESS the database has similar functions like excel to manipulate content, such as splitting addresses based on spaces or delimiters and being able to compare and match two files of content and do something if there's a match
6) has the ability to import columns from excel and translate them into fields, if the fields do not exist, and if they do, then to update the value of the fields
7) has some kind of ability to measure success of a marketing campaign
Does anyone know of a database that best suits these needs? I don't mean something like PHP with a Mysql server. I mean something like Microsoft Access vs Act! vs Goldmine vs SugarCRM vs something else. Something that you purchase and comes with some degree of support. That is, something already designed and ready to be used with little programming knowledge.
Thanks for response.
