I am looking for a database system that can be configured and used entirely through a web server. I am hoping there is a term for the type of product I am looking for, please let me know if there is.
One way I can describe this is that I would like the functionality of Microsoft Access but all programming should be performed through a web page. This sounds ridiculous to me so let me explain my situation:
My department is currently using a half-working database for work-orders. The system is used by others to submit orders as well as by us to view, edit, and sort orders. Our IT department is unable to develop this program further and has offered to purchase and install a web server-based application for use in its place.
We would like the ability to add/remove fields, change the appearance of the data entry and review pages, export data, and perform queries on the data.
Please let me know if any products come to your mind.
I would prefer to write an app myself, with Visual Studio, Access, or PHP/MySQL but our IT department is against allowing my department to write code (fair enough). I am hoping to find something that my department can at least configure since we have been left hanging for two years and our work has suffered because of it.
If there are no solutions that fit our needs exactly please advise of the best solution you can recommend. I have been looking into content management systems and booking systems but have not found one that looks promising for our uses yet. I think a customizable booking system would be great if it supported queries across all of its fields...
Thanks,
David
