Small searchable database, free software/program?

I am looking to enter around 100 rows of data that include name phone address etc... and want a free simple software to search them daily, once you enter the first name it displays only rows with that name

 

I don't want to install big software and learn programming just to do 100 lines database, something not more complicated than excel?

 

It does not have to be accesses from server, and it should be local (on PC).

 

Example

 

  • John      264-583-6752   Miami
  • Alex       222-256-2652   New york
  • Alfonso  325-262-3552   Texas
  • Bill .....
  • Greg .....
  •  

 

Search box: Al...(typing in progress)

 

Results:

  • Alex       222-256-2652   New york
  • Alfonso  325-262-3552   Texas

 

You can do database in excel but it does not give this search feature

 

Any idea?

LibreOffice Base...

 

You can learn SQL and expand functionality for later...

OracleDatabase is pretty easy to use. You have to learn a little SQL, but it's a very easy language, and for what you're doing it sounds like you'll only need to know a small amount if you just want to search names you won't need foreign keys.

You can use access , or download WAMP and use mysql .

Then you can create a connection between a local page and the database using PHP.

Even access is difficult to do exactly what I want (instant search box), I was hoping for something almost ready -_-

Seems like you just need an address book? Email client, even?

 

Honestly I tried to search for that :lol: , I just don't know whats the problem, me or google, I can't seem to find what I need, that's why I am asking here, I got an ebook for access but I have no time to read it, I have other stuff to read, I am just doing this to help someone and a template or anything ready would save me

people keep recommending these big databases....SQLite bitches. write yourself a little program or find the SQLite browser somewhere online, not hard, and use it. benefit to SQLite, its a file! single file. easy to carry between systems.
