I need a solution for small scale data base and management tools,
for something like 10 users, tens of tables and thousands of records,
with simple forms to view, search and update it.
Although I am a programmer,
the application will (hopefully) be developed / maintained
by my wife for her medical laboratory, who had never developed software.
Requirements:
* Free, better open-source
* Suitable for non-tech people
* Zero or almost zero programming (i. e. writing code)
* Preferably not PHP-based, because I dislike it and don't want to learn it.
In MS-DOS I used something like [[Magic Software Enterprises]]
Later I used Access for similar goals,
Later, like 10 years ago, I would use Delphi + any free DB
3 years ago I thought web dot-net solution (C# + DB) is best.
What about today? Is there any web-based development tools that can meet my goals?
I tried to check about Drupal, Google Spreadsheets + forms, Ruby on Rails
but was unsatisfied.
