Calling all database/cms/backend PROs

Ok, I need to make a customer database system, and i’m not sure where to start.

Right now, the business is doing all their customer management using paper and files, and they want a computersed system. Just to give you an idea, they’re a suit-hire company, and they loan out about 1200 suits per week. They need something to keep track of customer details, suit details, checkout and return dates, etc, etc, etc… My main concern is that the database will be massive…

I’m thinking PHP+MySQL, cos thats all I know :stuck_out_tongue: Plus, being web-based would be good, since the other stores could use the same database, but that’s just a though.

I’m totally newb to anything other than PHP+MySQL… but ive heard of other stuff like oracle and stuff…:smiley:

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
