need help! School Assignmet: online shopping service

[WindowsXP16]

Alright I need to make a online shopping service kind of like eBay for a school IT assignment. I've already got most of the template done, including the front page but I want to include a database to it, which should allow me to add or modify listings. Apparently you need a webserver to accomplish this, but our school's network does not allow local severs. Is there a way of adding a database to a website, stored locally without a webserver.

 

Sorry if this post does not make much sense, I do not have much experience with website development.

 

Cheers.

SQLite is a popular option for this.

 

edit: I misread your question. If your website is just client side then I don't think this will work.

 

Take a look at this: StackOverflow: I need a client side browser database. What are my options

 

edit 2: Actually, it seems like SQLite may actually be possible to use after all.

 

StackOverflow: Is it possible to access an SQLite database from JavaScript?

Does it need to be installed on the machine the website is in? If so it wont work as the teacher would be marking the assignment on a different computer.

SQLite is just a normal file you add with a special formatting done by code or a program that understands it.

 

Simply create a file called something like "database.db" and you are ready to work with it.

 

It probably score some points since most people will do it in text or csv files if they cant use SQL servers.
