We’re converting our daily work manufacturing logs from word to the web. I need some suggestions on what database to use. We use large text blocks, 10 to 20 lines, and very small numeric fields.
We have 8 units/departments each writing a day and a night log. In the past we wrote them in Word and used a macro to save each as an html page. Then used a scheduler program to copy it to a web server. We’re thinking of doing it all on the web now.
Some of the challenges are:
1) We may have two people that may want to create/edit/update each log at the same time.
2) We want to open yesterday’s log to see what was said and carry some of it forward.
3) We need to store and retrieve logs by Unit, Day, Month, Year, DayorNight. Example, Blender11312002N.
Our main development tool is Front Page with lots of javascript. The forms I’ve built typically store data in a text file or spreadsheet. We have a Sybase server for other applications, but we haven’t used it with the web server yet. I’ve dabbled in asp a little. We haven’t used cold fusion or php yet.
So I’m looking for recommendations and examples on the database and retrieval functions.
Thanks,
Paul
