I've been trying to get motivated enough to start a personal project that will hopefully teach me enough to where I can take what I have created, and use it as a skill set when looking for side work setting up small databases' for small office environments requiring sharing data for reports and inventory management or even project management.
I would like to setup a MySQL database on my hosted domain and also install the same database on a client computers or laptops which will sync with the online database, thus keeping all the data current across all client machines via internet connection.
I have my own, one man computer business and keeping track of what I do is a nightmare. I did set up a rather large MS ACCESS database and its nice, however, i need access to it while I'm mobile so I can just update information live while I'm working--this seems impossible. I would like to build a customer database with all my clients and the jobs I do, parts I buy and my expenses and be able to just boot my LINUX laptop and update my job information locally while I'm working and be done with it. I should be able to go to any web browser and log into it from any computer OR have a copy of the database on my laptop always available with the ability to sync with the online data....
Quickbooks and Quicken....and even any basic email client such asThundrbird all can do this....
I want my own database to do the same thing....why is this such a guarded top secret issue.....only seems like its common sense that people would want a wizard that would step through setting this up, with VPN and certs and all...
Of course this would have a PHP built UI
am I crazy for wanting this...
Thanks guys..
