Hello ,

So i have to do a database projects (for college), but i have no experience with database, i am looking to make a library system using access database!

If anyone can tell me how a library system should be or if anyone can give me any source codes that you might have created, it would be great, by the way i actually don't need to make a very professional one.

Thanks.

I would use PHP, HTML, CSS, JS & MySql. Access sucks IMO lol

#Filip you should try ASP.NET.

Definetely agree with #Filip for the languages. PHP and MySQL make accessing and using databases really easy.

Does this have to be a Web or Desktop project, though?

As for what your project should contain, if you're talking about a library as in where you find books, this might help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_library_system

It should be a desktop software.

ahh if its desktop based you can use the following:

MDB - Access Database (flat file) - simple to use and impletment directly into your project
MSSQL - Microsoft SQL server (agent, broker) - complex - can add it into the server explorer
Sqlite - simple small sql server - simple to use - will just need to inherit
