Database building

I'm in the process of building a videogames database and would like to know if someone have any application to reccomend

will appreciate the possibility to create GUI interfaces and import/export functions of the db in various formats, like sql, excel and such

 

For my website's database I'm using mediawiki, it's very customizable and easy to use if you have some PHP knowledge.

 

sorry, I should have specified that I was looking for an offline db

 

If it's just general purpose, get XAMPP (windows) or LAMPP (linux).
All you need running from it is apache & mysql, then visit http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin

It's got a good GUI.

 

You could go for a mediawiki anyway, and use Appserv or other to set up a local Apache and MySQL server.

 

Just use MS Access if you want a personal database.

 

I wrote something like this in VB6 a while back just for a 10 minute project, uses an Access database. If you want I can try to dig it out tomorrow and send it to you. Doesn't have an import facility, although I could add one to it.

 

I personally really love FileMaker.

 

If it is for personal use Access would be a nice start.

 

Access should be great for what you wan.

You can easily export your querys/reports to xls, html, etc

 

I use collectorz << google them, they have a free trial, i use them for movies and games

 

looks awesome, will give it a try with the demo

access would be cool but i don't really like it...
i'm building a personal database but can consider to publish it on the web in the future, so that's why I'm looking for import export of various formats

 

Collectorz looks cool, but does it allow to add consoles and accesories? I know that seems dumb, but I've been told that by default it's thought only for software.

 

I Honestly Do Not Know, I have Never Tried
