maybe try SQL to start with...

>>52143213
Is that all I'll need? So no python or c++ or anything?

pretty much every language has SQL support. it really doesn't matter.

>>52143175
probably any modern language would suffice

but if you're really curious you can just google the language and the specifics of the "SQL database", is it MSSql Sqlite MySQL Postgres etc

>>52143280
depends how you want to display it. there are lots of pre-build sql clients that will show you the raw data. if you want charts and shit you're better off using periscope.

Thanks anons.

Just a simple table will be fine, with the option to customize size, fonts, colours etc... Nothing too flashy.

The database is already in place (been running for years) , so will probably just start learning python and sql.

Unless anyone thinks there's better for what I need?

>>52143346
It's Sql server

Am I overcomplicating this? What's the simplest way to go about this, in your opinion?

>>52143658
depends what your goals are. if it's a 1-off commercial project because your manager is too stupid to open an SQL client, then use https://www.periscopedata.com/

if you want to waste a lot of billable hours and build a shitty version yourself, then by all means, make a web app for it.

Thanks, will look at periscope for the short term.

I'm determined to build a 'shitty' version myself though in my spare time, just so I've got something to work towards while I'm learning all this stuff!
