College Project

[ddhunt]

Can anyone please give me some ideas for a program ?
I have a project to do for college - the only thing it must do is have a database.
I dont want to do the same onld customer database sort of thing, so am looking for some fresh ideas ?

thanks for any help on this.

I'm working on a project for fun right now that deals with DB. Private message me if you want to co-develop the app.

What about a Microsoft Access kind of application? Should get you a great rating if you succeed in programming something like this.

Do you mean a database system built on an access database ?

I am pretty sure he meant build an app similar to access - period.

thats a bit too much i think !

Ideas:
Golf Club membership database - including scores, handicaps etc

Any sporting club membership database

Stock control system (picking system)

Recipe database (that's one that I did when at uni)

Customer Service database (not only contacts, but when contacted, what they called for etc etc)

Gardening Guide (that's another one I did while at uni - this works well if you use a web interface to it, image maps for sections of the garden (partial shade, full shade, full sun, winter, summer etc)

Is that enough?

Exactly!

Why not program a subset of Access' features? Like, program an application which can read and show some database formats. In addition, let the user modify table structures and add new tables as well as remove tables and stuff. Know what I mean?
