    I want to start a database of people where visitors can search by their first and/or last night and then it'll take them to the person. Does anyone know what type of database I would need? And how complex would this be to setup? Thanks.

    first and/or last night? doesn't make any sense. but either way you have your choices. you can go pretty much any way you desire as long as you can store and retrieve the data.

    Most database work requires a relational database so that can be anything from MS Access to MySQL or MS SQL

    How difficult it is to set up depends on your full requirements. Typically the DB itself is not overly difficult to set up but the program/ site that accesses the db and gives a meaningful front end for users is where it is more difficult

    Alright, I'm going to mess around with MS Access, does it allow you to export to a website? And I meant first and last name.
