I’m looking for an easy to use database software that can help me organize and manage quiz data. I need something that can store questions and answers, allow me to categorize them with tags, sort through the content, and retrieve information when needed.
Does anyone know if there’s an open source solution that fits these requirements? I have some background in assembly language programming, but I’m not very experienced with modern languages like Java, C#, VB, Perl, or LINQ. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
honestly, try anki for quiz stuff. it’s built for flashcards but works great with question/answer pairs. built-in tagging, easy search and filtering. perfect if you don’t want to deal with database setup or coding.
what kind of quiz data are you working with? how many questions? libreoffice base might work well for tagging and sorting without needing to code much. could be overkill tho.
Since you’ve got assembly language experience, I’d go with SQLite and a simple GUI like SQLite Browser. It’s open source and lets you create tables, add data, and run queries without learning any modern programming languages. Just set up columns for questions, answers, categories, and tags, then use the built-in search and filters to organize everything. There’s barely any learning curve - it works like a regular database tool instead of making you code everything. You get full control over your data setup but keep things simple for managing your quizzes.
