asked on

what type of database to use?

I have an educational based site in which articles are posted in different sections.  I'd like to put them into a database, which will display the most recent in each category in the appropriate cell of the page.  I'd like for it to automatically archive the others.  

What database is the easiest to use?  And the most user friendly?

How does it work?

I've got some experience with MS Access but that's it.  The records would be articles that need to dynamically be visual in a cell on a page.  There are 5 pages, one for each category.  

I've had some experiencing manipulating JavaScript and cgi but not using databases online.

Does that help for my skill level and needs?  Preferably I want to get something that's already put together that I can simply use.

don't have much experiance with different ready-to-use-tools, but have a look at http://www.phpnuke.org
