Personally I would suggest either Java or C# (C-Sharp).  Both of these languages lend themselves to very easy code and easily debugable code.  Both will easily allow you to connect to a Database and do what you need.  As far as output and looks, they're both really similar, if you choose to do a web front it you can use html and all the features of html to aide the design and output.  \n\nIf you choose C++, it will be extreemly difficult to get what you want done.  It will take far more effort to connect to a data back in C++ than it would in Java or C#. \n\nVB is very easy as well, but personally i hate it.  It is far too simple, and you loose flexability.\n\nHope this helps..

Some *very* general steps for a simple database:\n\nDecide the necessary fields and their parameters\nDetermine a primary key field\nDesign appropriate queries\n\nNow, there are certain considerations to make when determining data types - for instance, if you have a numerical field, do you want to store the values as integers or as "double"? One may use less space than the other, where the other will allow for the precision and range you may need.

Not without more information.  What format are you using?

I guess you wanted to say "how do you use..."\n\nAccess is better do design database interface with windows and buttons. Create a new database using one of templates and study it's setup.\n\nExcel is just a spreadsheet, but if your arrange your data in columns with a header row, you can use some Data menu to filter it, or such functions as VLOOKUP, MATCH, INDEX, COUNTIF, SUMIF to do some database-like things to the data.\n\nNow give me the best answer - you get points for that too.

I would suggest keep it simple.  You need a plain database ... use Microsoft Access, or even Excel.\n\nIf Excel, you need to be careful while structuring and entering data.  Since Excel is freeform (flexible), some discipline is required for good results.

Phone book.  We used to use these things to find phone numbers back in the day.

CREATE DATABASE [Database Name];\n\nWithout knowing the scope of your question, that is all there is to it.

when you have specific questions like that, make the search (yahoo/google) your friend.  That's how all programmers get quick information.  Do you have to use access?  SQL Server is so much easier to use and more robust.

A database is simply a way of storing and arranging data in a useful way.\n\nA resource database is a listing of resources specific to your purpose.\n\nA plantation needs:\nLabor for\n• Plowing\n• Sowing\n• Reaping\n• Repairing\n• Cooking   and so on\nEquipment\n• Tractors\n• Trucks\n• Wagons\n• Tools\n• Plows   and so on\nBuildings\nManagement\nWater\nSeeds and/or seedlings\nLivestock\n           and so on\n\nMake the list complete and organize it to allow arrangments of resources for particular tasks.\n\nField 140 needs\n• 1 tractor\n• 1 plow\n• 1 operator\nfor 64 hours to prepare the field\n\nWhat is needed for the next step and how are the resources allocated?   and so on ...\n\nAccess would make a good database system to create this project.

You could do this if you know PHP.  You will also have to know how to implament databases using MySQL.

There is a lot of useful information on ADO and Delphi here:\nhttp://delphi.about.com/od/database/\n\nThis might be of some use - sorry I can't help more, despite being a Delphi buff I don't know much about database connectivity.\n\nRawlyn.

database is like a huge table with information or entries.  Like information of similar groups of different records.  Dbms is basically, mananing all of those records.  Also database is storing as well as retreiving.

If you want to keeps your costs low.  Then you'll probably be using PHP and MySQL, or possibly Postgres.  The last two are the database programs to store your data.
