    If you want to use java as your development language, I would recommend
    MySQL as a cheap (free) but extremely powerfull database. And, as you
    have already discovered, it has a free JDBC driver already written. The
       AWT is very cumbersome in java however.

    Even though it is standalone. I would recommend writing in JSP on top
    of Tomcat. You would use your browser as the GUI component but java for
    all the backend processing. That is what I did for one of my
    applications and it works great.

    Also, if you ever want to access the application from outside, it would
    require minimal effort to do it.

    I hope this helps!
