If you plan to do any future work on databases, I'd say stick with MySQL
or Postgres. At least then you will get a standard intro to SQL in
general. One option you might look into is Abriasoft's SQL-lite. It
comes bundled up with MySQL, Apache and PHPMySQLAdmin. they have a free
downloadable version at www.abriasoft.com. You can get the same software
elsewhere, or already on your Mandrake CD's, but this gets you up and
running pretty quickly.
The hardest part of MySQL is getting the users setup properly.
PHPMySQLAdmin gives you a browser based GUI tool. There are other GUI's
also.
If you tell me what fields you want, I'll build up a database for you, and
send it as a dump file you can feed into MySQL. Sounds like just 1
table from your description, or maybe 2.
