If you just need to know the VCAA-mandated RDBMS <a href="http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Documents/vce/computing/InformaticsSoftwareToolsFunctions.docx" target="_blank">
functions for 2016+</a>, they are:</div>

<li><span lang="EN-GB">create tables</span><br>

<li>MS Access, <br>
</li><li><span lang="EN-GB">Filemaker Pro (but be conscious of examiners' inbuilt antipathy to </span>Filemaker's calculated fields and - maybe - lack of a "maintain referential integrity" option, and lack of input masks [which may have been implied in the 2015
ITA exam]), <br>
</li><li>MySQL with a GUI front-end, and <br>
</li><li>OpenOffice or LibreOffice (have not tried them in recent years. Can't speak for their functionality or ease of use)<br>
</li><li>KellyBase (a new and exciting RDBMS written in 'Scratch' and available sometime in 2020 for only $600,000 per seat. Order NOW! Pre-payment is
