I just asked Konstantin (the developer of the data bases) with an
attachment of the "Kash home page" which one he would recomend. Seams to
be a very nice guy. 

First my question:

  Hallo Konstantin Knizhnik,

  we are a group of developer just beginning a discussion about a
  financial (homebanking) software on the KDE project (www.kde.org).
  Since
  we want to handle data storage by a data base, Roberto Alsina
  recomended
  your site. I wanted to ask you to have a short look at our project
  goals
  in the attachment. This is just a start. Which one of your data
  bases
  would you recomend for such a project? We'd be very grateful for
  some
  advice of a data base specialist.

  Thanks in advance.

  Greetings Stephan Kahnt
