Database and websites

C

Cody

Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me out here, or have some good ideas.

For a class, we are to design a software package that manages a restaurant
(inventory, menus, customers, etc.). We are planning on making this
web-based. We think using a database would be the best way to go about
storing all the info, however, none of us have much experience using one. I
have downloaded Office 2007 Beta 2. Should this contain all the tools we
need...Publisher for webpages, and Access for the database? With these
programs, would it be possible to implement? (Having the website accessing
and storing data into the database?)

Or does anyone have any better/easier ideas of what programs or tools to use
for storing/retrieving data? Would Visual Studio be an option?

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks

Frontpage is actually the proper web page creator in microsoft office.
As for the database, you could use access but you'd be better off using
something specialised like MySQL, and then you need to think about
server space etc. I'm not an expert but I can tell you that much.
