Address Book by K. Pike -(1986 Planet Earth LTD) ,  for the Commodore 64 is a nice address database program written in BASIC.  Although it supports saving addresses to tape, sure would be nice if someone updated this to support disk storage.

BBS Base v1.0 by Percival Blenman was released in 1986 and is a database type application that handles BBS billing for pay BBS systems back in the day.  Some short Docs are included in the disk image.

BBS Machine by D.P. Searles - Think of this as a database for BBS phone numbers.  I know you are probably thinking; I would just put them in my terminals phone book.  Probably true, but if you used multiple terminal programs, it would have been nice to have a central repository for all the numbers.  Plus, with this program, you can get hard copies and have pretty much unlimited entries.

Better Working Software from Spinnaker is proud to introduce FILE & REPORT, a program which will allow you to organize lists of information and produce reports using those lists. FILE & REPORT integrates with the other Better Working products SPREADSHEET and WORD PROCESSOR.

Bob the Bartender is a database of mixed drinks that Bob will help you make.  It has quite a few recipes and could be useful at a Commodore party.

Contact Dealer v2 from Censor is an sort of unique application I haven't run across before.  It appears to be a type of database for contacts in the warez / cracking scene or similar.

Credit Card Base by R.W. 'Bob' Kober (March 20th, 1986) - Yup, believe it or not, this is a database for credit card information.  My personal feeling is that if you have so many credit cards that you need to file the information, you have too many!

Datafile (later sold commercially as dfile 64), is an excellent simple database program and an example of the great things that can be done in BASIC. Originally published in RUN magazine over the span of three issues in 1987, version 3.6 includes DFPrint, an accessory for creating mailing labels and reports, and DFCalc, an accessory that performs calculations and produces spreadsheet-like reports.

This archive includes a D64 with all these programs. Also included are the accompanying RUN magazine articles (with program listings) in PDF form.

Update August 9th,2024 - I've updated this archive with an additional version.  Although the version number on disk is still v1.01, the software is over a year newer (08-01-1988) and includes an additional program to print the manual outside of the main program.

File-Fax Release 2 by TMQ (Trade Mark of Quality) software.  This is a database management system released sometime post 1982 for the Commodore 64.  If you look at the detailed description you can see a picture of the Ad I found for the software in a November 1982 PC Magazine.

FilePro 64 by Steve Punter (1986) is a database program for the Commodore 64 - For additional information and details on the program particulars, check out https://www.danielsays.com/

This is a fairly complex database for small business inventory management. With the ability to track purchase orders, pre-orders, order/receive parts from suppliers, and much more, this seems like a program that could actually have been used by a small business. The program supports two disk drives, another big plus. On the downside, Inventory Management is not Y2K compliant. Also of note is that when Inventory Management starts a new blank database, it creates a gigantic relative file on the disk. This process takes so long I was convinced the C64 had locked up. 

Mail List 64 by Dave & Al Johnson is an address keeping database that built-in help, the ability to work with disk files and supports printing.

Nice little mailing list program that can store up to 150 entries in memory and supports printing and save / load to disk.

Note - Doesn't work in VICE.  Works on real hardware or Z64k Emulator v2.0.0

Phi Beta Filer by Elizabeth Levin, published by Scarborough Systems (1984) - Couldn't find much information on this program other than a review in the June 4th, 1984 issue of InfoWorld magazine.  The review calls this a home-productivity-package, but it's main function is to create cardfile like sets of information, so I'm going to classify it as a database. 

You can find the review in the pictures included with the archive, but here is a link to the only online copy of the InfoWorld issue I could find.  It might not work without being logged into a Google account though.

Phone Mail (also known as File Drawer) by S.J. Takis is a database utility for storing phone numbers and addresses.  Also supports some added fields that aren't in most programs of this type.

Phone/Mail DB is a simple but useful address book that can save data to disk and print a mailing list.

QUIKPRO + is one of the easiest programs to use. In minutes you'll be able to create programs for filing and data handling without knowing anything about programming.

Superbase 64 v1.0d is a database program for the Commodore 64, released by Precision Software in 1984.

Superbase 64 is a new concept in database management. It provides the power of large computers on a Commodore 64. This revision of Superbase includes support for two disk drives and the 1581 floppy drive.

What is Superbase 64?

In computer talk, it's known as a database management and information retrieval system with a user programmable interface. In English, it's best described as a great big filing cabinet which allows you to extract almost any piece of information, in almost any order, with multiple selection criteria.

Plus - you can design your own record layouts and either work entirely from the menu options or write your own special program to meet your needs exactly. If you have no programming experience just use the Superbase 64 command set.

Thanks to Howlin' Alan for acuiring and providing this excellent piece of Commodore history!
