I am a strict beginner with database management on the web. I'm looking for a solution that is easy to implement.
I have a table of items on a web page that I need to update and filter as easily as possible.
- A few different filters that produce different results.
- Each result is shown in a different page in a table.
- The user enters new items in a separate page.
- Accoording to the new entry and the filtering, the result goes to the appropriate page table automatically.

I hope I made it clear enough.
Let us say we have shoes. There are shoes for females, males, female kids and male kids, sizes and maybe also price ranges.
All I have to do is enter:
- A thumbnail picture of the new item.
- How many of them I received into stock.
- Gender.
- Size.
- Age range.
- Price.
- Color/Description

On the other hand, every time I sell an item, the stock quantity is updated automatically.

All advices are much appreciated.

Try searching on this forum for 'CMS'. You will also find many free pre-written CMS systems with google

Thank you all for the replies and suggestions.
Looks like there is an existing database and is being filled via a form on a separate page. Also looks like PHP is being used. Might also need to support exporting to it from, say, Excel.
What I need to begin with, is to understand the basics of how that works, and then resources/examples to help me progress.
Can I change that DB that works with PHP to ASP, or is it a stupid question?

Many thanks

Most DBs will work fine through ASP or PHP
