I need to choose a good combination of front & back ends for a database application.
The application is quite simple. It is basically a muster, where employees can sign in by entering an employee-ID.
For this I need to store a database of all employees with some basic fields like ID, name, etc. When someone enters an ID, a validity check is done and if valid the ID is stored into a table.
My requirements:
1. Application will need to work on throw-away machines, like a 286 or 386. But the machine will be used solely for this application.
2. I need to use a language which is easy to learn (time constraint), given the fact that I only have knowledge of C and some C++.
3. Tomorrow I may need to add some more functionalities to the application. Basically running different queries for retrieving data. Also size of the employee database may increase. For starters I am looking at 100 to 1000 employees.
For the database I guess mySQL would be ideal. (or is there a better option?) What should I use for the front end? And reasons for it.
Many thanks, Nikhil.
