    Online database recommendation?
    I've long wanted to upgrade from the cheezy Database application I'm using and since I'll have to learn something new I'd rather learn something that's online, so that I can access it from anywhere.

    I've seen several but don't want to dig into any of them until I can get some good recommendations.

    Can anyone suggest a good free one?

    Thanks!

    Intuit has one, I think its called Quickdata that I used a while back that was good. You might also look to see if you can use space on a Sharepoint server.

    Does your web host offer Db facilities ?
    Like mySQL for example ?

    Thanks, Scott. I'll check out Intuit's app.

    Yes, Ben, I've got unlimited mySQL... but don't know how to use it. I've always farmed out database work when clients need it.

    Is there an easy way to make my own using mySQL?

    MySQL is just the backend, it stores the data. You need to use some front end code (PHP, ASP, etc.) to handle the I/O between the page and the database.

    Frankly, I've got more business than I can handle just doing plain-jane-html-in-tables sites :)
