- I purchased FileMaker Pro to build a database for the literature of my interest
- in computer science. Each record consists of authors, title, source, and key words.
- I intend to create about 3000 records currently. It will grow to 10,000 records
- eventually. However, after I created some 300 records and saved it on a diskett,
- I noticed that each record takes about 1K bytes of memory! Why does it take so much
- memory? Is there a way to reduce it? Should I use another more efficient database?
- Any comments will be wellcome.
