What website based database applications are there?

Question

Hi there,
For a new website project I'm looking for a database application I can use in the website. It should store a lot of data with different parameters. Like height, weight,... but preferably not in columns, but in a way so I can design a skin/layout for it myself.

It should be displayed in a webpage, and members of the website should be able to log in and adjust the data they're able to view (there will be multiple security clearances).

Is there premade software to do this? Or do I have to get everything coded from scratch? And how much would that cost me? I've been looking into SQL software, but most of it doesn't look like what I need :s.

Thank you!

Answer 1

Do you need a database that can handle alot of transactions simultaneously?



What you have to do is decide if you need an enterprise level database, like Oracle or MS SQL Server or something smaller like Oracle's MySQL or SQL Server Express Edition, both of which are free. Or perhaps somethign even smaller like MS Access.



Perhaps the first thing you should do is learn how to use the correct terminology. FYI, there's no such thing as SQL software. SQL stands for Structured Query Language.

Answer 2

MySQL is the best way to go to sort your data.

CSS is what you would use to design your 'skin/layout'

PHP is the code that will change and display the data

and HTML is the barebone code of the site!





Use CSS and HTML to write the page, like create a table and format it with CSS, then just add the PHP code where neccesary. :P



you can also use Microsoft's Database program (i forgot what its called)
