Thanks, Aaron, that is what I want to do. I need a large database where I can create all the fields and save different sections, such as: parents, children, diseases etc. Then each instructor can manage their part of the database and keep it up to date.
Hettie From: Aaron Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, May 14, 2012 9:38 AM Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: sql database and WE I think it would be helpful to divulge that SQL is simply a moniker for a type of language (in the same way that HTML and XML both represent structured language types), and in and of itself, does not designate a specific program or utility. While there are many different kinds of SQL related back-ends (or storage mediums), I think that Hettie is most likely looking for is a front end that allows for the easy creation and management of various databases. That could be anything from Microsoft Excel to web based admin interfaces like phpMyAdmin. Unless your goal, Hettie, is database creation and administration, in which case, you may want to have someone else design the database for you, and give you an interface for adding new and editing existing records. Otherwise, you will want to read up on the various flavors of SQL, and what utilities are available for creating and maintaining databases. In that case, I would recommend started with the Wikipedia SQL entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL.

If not, what other database database software should I use.
