How to manage MySQL database in Azure?

Need Advice or Quote for Database with Web Forms and Password Protection

• I need a database/web application, with web forms - to manage a set of contacts; I am hoping that someone here can point me to a tutorial type of website that has this solved, and offers files to download. I would think that this kind of application must be very commonly done. The database would have various fields like name, address, phone, url, and so on. It does not need ecommerce. The web forms would have a form for a user to add their new entry, another form for a user to modifying their entry, and an administrators form for deleting an entry. The forms would be password protected, with a password-recovery mechanism. I need a master password to be able to access anything. This must have been done millions of times online. I want a shell for this so I can use it for a few different applications. My hosting place (www.Shanje.com) supports MySql so that is the way to go, but I don't know much about MySql. But I have a technical background, so I am hoping if someone has the shell for this, that I can fill it in and learn as I go. Budget is an issue, so I am posting here - hoping that some web site has this all setup online and I can just download the files and a help/tutorial file. Or I can pay a modest amount if someone can set this up - to me it sounds simple since there is no ecommerce and no related functions to run - its just presenting the data in the database to the screen. If some starving programmer wants to be paid for this work, and the cost is low, I might be able to do it. Please advise. I have two uses at first but I expect more later. The first one has about 150 contacts. The 2nd one has potentially several thousand contacts. If I need any software, I suppose a 1-site license won't work, so that is also a cost issue. I want to do it right even though the budget is very limited. My time frame is: the sooner the better. Kevin Sinclair [email protected]
