Can anyone recommend a cheap, easy to use database app for OSX?

I'm starting a web design company and want to make a database to store customer details, etc. I have previously used Microsoft Access before switching to Mac but can't find anything similar.

Cheers
 
I have experience with Filemaker which is the database 'back-end' for Bento.

We use a system at work called Co-Efficient which is an alternative front-end for Filemaker designed specifically for design agencies.

While it's extremely powerful it is also very buggy. We have a love/hate relationship with it in the office because when it's working it's perfect but it doesn't take much to upset it.

However, I think our system uses Filemaker 6 and the current version is 10 so we're quite a way behind the bleeding edge of the technology. Also, I don't know how many of the bugs are due to Filemaker itself or due to the producers of Co-Efficient.

I would have hoped that many of the problems we get have been ironed out by now so let us know how you get on with the trial.

I think Bento is ok, fairly basic as a database but if you're just after something to store customer details it's pretty decent :) I like how it integrates itself with apps such as mail, ical etc.
