Guys, please help me out. I'm getting very frustrated!! Going round in circles!!!
I want to create a simple relational database to store names, addresses and some other basic data. A club membership database, actually.
I want to be able to custom design it. It has to use SQL to build it and access it. My SQL skills are pretty good, but I've never written for the Web.
I want to be able to write some simple scripts to add, update and delete rows and I want to access these via a form-like structure on a password protected web page. The database has to be updated by non-techies.
The existing site is not hosted by me and I don't have access to a database server, other than some stuff I started to play with at www.freesql.org. I've started looking at phpMyAdmin, but I'm not sure this is the best way to go.
Do I need to learn some PHP into which to incorporate my SQL queries?!?!
I don't really want an out-of-the-box solution. I don't want to run my own server. I don't want to pay for it.
<<Edit - I've actually managed to do the DBMS side of what I wanted very easily at freesql.org (excellent resource) - now just need some direction on the web development side...>>
(Nearly) Clueless.
Thanks people.
