Next September I'm going to have to create a database system for a fictional company. My school is encouraging us to use Microsoft Access, but I figured screw that, I'm going to use PHP and MySQL because I know what I'm doing with them and it means that I don't have to touch that damned program.

Anyways, this means that my system will have to be web-based and make good use of relational database-ness. Please throw at me any suggestions for a good system.

Plain ol' Content Management is a bad idea because I doubt I'll be able to convince my teachers that it is a database that I'm using (this is high-school we're talking about, so knowing more than my IT teachers is nothing new).

edit: if it could involve a good reason to use graphs, that'd be great. Everybody, especially IT teachers, loves graphs.

what kind of things need to be in the database?

Anything really, the idea is that the system should be the best possible showcase for a variety of skills.
