What are your favorites for web based database programs?
I have a project where i will have many items, each with a bunch
of keywords, and i need to be able to search for all items
containing a keyword, sort them by other keywords, blah blah
blah. It will be accessed on the web (or thru a browser, at
least), and will have the normal friendly gui interface of so
many sites.
The best thing is probably to use MySQL for your data, then scour
Sourceforge and Freshmeat for a front-end that suits your needs
(most of them are PHP, so you can hack them to your heart's
content).
Ok, thanks, i'll look into that.
Now, if i wanted to do the same thing on computers w/o web access,
am i looking at a completely different set of applications?
Unfortunately, it would have to run in windows and macs, as well as
linux.
Thanks,
eric
You can access an MySQL database from several programming languages. If
you want the program to run on all 3 platforms, you may want to write it
in Pearl. There are also modules to let you access MySQL from other
programs. There is a lot of documation on using it, so you may want to
do some reading online.
