which one is best web script or preferably desktop software in which my small company can keep database of students and teachers and do stuff like sorting, filtering, and giving command to print certificate for selected students on demand.
thanks
A:
You can probably use SQLite and avoid the overhead of having a database server installed for the application to run.
SQLite - SQLite is an ACID-compliant embedded relational database management system contained in a relatively small (~225 KB) C programming library.

thanks a lot, dabble db might work for us, but if u happen to find a desktop software that has user interface like dabble db that would be awesome.

Download and use a php, apache, and mysql bundle like XAMPP (www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html). It is easy to install, configure and have a working web based database application with a few hours of work. You will need to use mail merge in Microsoft PowerPoint if you want decent looking certificates.

how will i use mail merge in power point to print certificates...is there a tutorial?

PowerPoint does not support mail merge out of the box. You can get the functionality using a third party plugin like the one available at http://www.pptools.com/merge/index.html . The plugin costs about $20. Another option is to print the certificates from Microsoft Word. It has a very powerful feature set for mail merge.
