Okay I am starting from scratch, I want to move huge amounts of paper reports, logs, drawings, etc. to a database. Would Like to search not only by reportname and type but also by content. Also would like to be able to put this on the internet.
My questions are:
1) How to move it all to electronic data? use PDF format? or is there another way to go?
2) What kind of DB should I use?
Would also like to analyze and compare the information for similarities and then create reports.
I have done some very simple DB's (these started with a form to fill out)but nothing of this scope and am at a loss, any help would be appreciated.
