Are we talking about just the database or the database _program_? The reason I
ask is that if he already has a commercial database program then he must have a
database as well, as they all come with one. If he doesn't have a database, then
he doesn't have a database program either, in which case SCID really is the
answer. But as you say, all databases must be updated, and if the key word is
free then both TWIC and Convekta's free weekly bases (many games will be the
same, but not all) are the way to go.
