Hi,
Once you've written the requirements, you can look at how you could
implement them. From what you've said so far, I'd be looking at a Flask
app (or, if you'd prefer to spend nine months learning the platform,
Django).
Shouldn’t take 9 months with Django unless you had absolutely no knowledge of
web development, python or linux. I’d be happy to help if you went down that
path.
As mentioned earlier, my hosting provider includes MySQL as part of my
package, and Stephen Wolff has suggested off list that the hosting provider
might also provide access to PHPMyAdmin. It does; so I am looking into how
suitable that is for our purpose.
If there are non-technical users, it probably isn’t much use. It’s more a
database administration tool.
On that subject, can anyone comment on that? I can see that PHPMyAdmin allows
the database to be developed, (and the records can be imported from
LibreOffice Calc) but I'm not sure how the users would then access it. As I
said at the beginning, I have very little knowledge of database development
(yet).
But start with the requirements.
Well I thought I had; albeit a bit informal.

In my teaching at the university, I got thrown in to teaching a Database course
to 2nd year. I learned a lot in a hurry. The students used Dreamweaver to build
a web page that accessed a database.
Here is a link to FOSS equivalents:

Caveat: I have not tried any. But I may do one day.
