I don't just explicitly use a database just for software, but I do use a
database to catalogue my computer collection as a whole and this does
include software.
I started using SGML with my own DTD, but I soon started hitting
limitations, so I now use a PostgreSQL database. I generate all the
pages for my web site using this database and a Python program. (I am
currently working on a web based admin system for it also.)
I would be interested in hearing from other collectors who use
databases, either the shelf or custom designed ones, to discuss issues
involved. Hey maybe one day we could come up with some sort of generic
cataloguing system / database schema for old computers and associated
stuff.
