How to create site connected to database

Hi,

I'm sure there must be a simple off the shelf solution to this but I can't find one All I get when I google "Website database" is results related to wordpress I just want a simple site a few informational pages connected to a searchable database

It requires a login(with the ability for the user to always stay logged in)

The ability for the logged in user to enter a record(there may eventually end up being over a hundred thousand records)

The ability to add time stamped information(this will be just a few words) relevant to that record, At most there will be 30 records for each header record

The ability for anyone to search for a record and for information related to that record to be displayed along with the dates the information was entered


I know this is simple stuff as it's functionality is simpler than an ecommerce shop . I suppose the more complex question is there an off the shelf solution that would be reasonably robust in terms of holding lots of data, security and that will scale well BTW I will eventually hire a programmer if the business idea is viable.

Cheers Don

    Check out Drupal.

    - You can create a login
    - Can enter a record (will handle 100,000's)
    - You can attach whatever fields you need to the main record
    - You can search all records
    - Database could be merged into a custom program if successful

    That would take me a few hours to setup, if your new you should be able to work it out in a couple of days.

    You can still use Wordpress to do that, all you need is to know how to work on template and you can create whatever you want
