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.
