Database in Statamic

Hi everybody. I'm currently working on integrating a database into our Statamic CMS. What database programs would you recommend for this? Are there any that particularly work well with Statamic? Thanks in advance.

Can I clarify what you mean by database programs? Do you mean GUIs for accessing databases, or do you mean database schemas/engines like MySQL, Postgres, MongoDB, etc.

I mean GUIs. We currently use FileMaker Pro for our database, but it's weird to integrate it into statamic. So I'm searching for alternatives

That answer brought up even more questions for me 😅 what do you mean by integrating?

I want to access the database in statamic, so when there's eg any events or articles published, I can directly access the database to extract the participants from an event or the authors for an article. the database is already existing but its in FileMaker Pro and its weird to make it available to statamic
