I’m looking for a straightforward database software that can help me manage my trivia collection. My main needs are:
- Inputting questions and answers
- Organizing them with tags
- Sorting the entries
- Easily retrieving the information
Does anyone know of a program that fits these requirements? I’d prefer something open-source if possible.
I’m not very familiar with modern programming languages. My background is mostly in assembly. So a user-friendly solution would be ideal. Any suggestions would be really helpful!
Thanks in advance for your recommendations!
Have you considered using SQLite? It’s a lightweight, open-source database engine that might suit your needs perfectly. SQLite doesn’t require a separate server process, making it easy to set up and use. You can create tables for your trivia questions, answers, and tags, and then use simple SQL queries to retrieve and sort your data. There are many graphical user interfaces available for SQLite that could make it more user-friendly for you, given your background. One popular option is SQLite Browser, which provides a visual way to manage your database. This approach would give you the flexibility and power of a database system without the complexity of larger database management systems.
have you considered using a spreadsheet program like excel or google sheets? theyre pretty user-friendly and can handle organizing trivia questions easily. you can use columns for questions, answers, and tags, then sort and filter as needed. what do you think about that approach? it might be simpler than learning a new database system.
