Hi Carla,
Check out the following sites. They may be robust enough for what you would
like to do, but web-enabling them is well documented.
SQL Databases:
PostgreSQL: http://www.postgresql.org/
MiniSQL: http://www.hughes.com.au/
MySQL: http://www.tcx.se/
Server-side web-scripting:
PHP/FI: http://php.iquest.net/
Hope that helps...John.
