The data base should use for research purpose, and shouls be easy to use. the researcher have to be able to take partial data from the big database. is has to have simple GUI/MMI. The data abous gifted childrens, their teacher an programs. it has many variables and many categories. I think SAS and SPSS are too simple for that. it had to enable statistical processing or convert it to SAS or SPSS format of data (to make the statisticall processing). so what is the best software?

Not sure why you'd say SAS is too simple for such. It easily handles monstrous datasets. Yes, the data itself can be store in SAS proprietary format, but it can also be managed as XML (text) via SAS. SAS excels at data manipulation (i.e., taking 'partial data from the big database'). Another plus is, if you work with a university, chances are they already have a licensed install of SAS available or can get one at a discounted rate easily.

It doesn't seem to need to be relational, so you're better off with Quickbase.
