Hi,
I'm wanting to build a database and interface for a small business to
keep track of things such as clients, suppliers etc. The database
will be served on a Linux box, with users accessing/updating it over
the network from both Linux and windows.
I'm wondering if I could get some suggestions as to how implement
this quickly and simply? I was thinking a web interface using PHP
would be the fastest way of going about it.
A web interface will make it easy for others to use (and from
anywhere). OTOH, if you're comfortable with C# or Java or "X" you
could do it that way, however that will mean either installing an app
or applet on each PC.
I have a understanding of SQL and can program but I don't want to
spend an eternity working on it and maintaining it.
What languages are you comfortable with? PHP, Ruby, Python, Perl all
work well for web interfaces. C#, Java (and others) work fine as
client apps..
PHP would be my choice i think, there are libraries and tools for using
pgsql and php aren't there?
Of course. Shameless plug coming up ;)
