The database I chose was Grubba.
Even though this online database is still in beta form it still works very well and I haven't encountered a bug yet. The program is free and simple to use, but even provides short video tutorials on how everything works. The buttons are placed well enough to where you don't need to look hard to find what you need, making it very easy to learn how to use it. The main page contains pretty much everything you need to manage your database, the video tutorials, individual users, and some other less important information. The task bar on the site allows you to search your database, create new data, and use any other tools available that are used to create and edit a database. There were also shortcuts on the site that allowed you to export your data to certain programs.
This site worked best for me because it had the best layout, functionality, and an overall better feel than the others I tested. Some things took me a while to learn but overall this is the best online database I could find that was free. The video tutorials helped with allot of the problems I was having, and most of the problems solutions were simple things that I just missed. The site was quick to load everything and it allowed me to do pretty much everything I can in a payed service like Access. On some of the sites tried it was difficult for me to find the data after I had created it, and sometimes it wouldn't even save what I created. Overall Grubba was the best for me because it had a good, simple layout, but still allowed you to do everything you would with a more complex database.
I have created a test database and exported it to MS Excel: Assignment 8 Database This link will download the Excel file.
