Here is what I have: 1) a simple sql file given to me that creates tables and fills them with data 2) a simple sql file that contains PL/SQL procedures I've written for displaying/manipulating the tables
The goal is to create some sort of user interface that allows a student to login, view their transcript, withdraw from classes, etc.
I am using sqlplus. I have procedures that do all the required displaying/manipulating. I am successful at creating a simple command line UI with sqlplus, but the problem arrives when I need to get user input inside a loop (for allowing them to see course information for any number of courses until they wish to go back to the main menu). After doing research, I learned that this would be the job of something like PHP, C, etc. Unfortunately, I am not proficient in any language required, and setting up extensions and such have proven to be extremely complicated.
I am capable of learning the necessary techniques to complete this, but I do not know which direction to go in. What is easiest to implement a simple UI? Should I use PHP? C? C++? Is there some sort of program out there that automatically creates simple UIs given database data?
