no whatever software you install i.e. MySQL SequelServer will have built in functions to allow bot a user to add and retrieve information to and from a database.

Id consult your server to see what type of software they support in terms of a database and Id also do a search for SELECT statments which allows the user to rerieve info from the database and INSERT which allows users to indert info to the database.

You will need some sort of server side programming language to handle the search, query, and display the data once it is returned.
