Some simple database questions
Okay so let me start by saying I have a pretty decent c++ base and very advanced logic skills. So whatever help you will have to provide will probably be minimal.
So here's my problem:
I've been trying to figure out the best way to organize all my Magic: The Gathering cards. I've bought boxes, drawers, etc etc. I came to the conclusion the only way for me to have the freedom to sort and browse my cards the way I want is to put them all in a database, then just simply alphabetize the physical cards. I know how to do this with zero trouble. The only things I need help with are:
Being able to import an existing database of ALL MtG cards, so when I'm populating my list, I can simply just put in card name. No need for rules text, cost, etc. There are a ton of oracle programs for MtG I'm just not familiar enough with code to make my program interface with it.
Secondly, I want to experiment with a browser based version of the same thing. My friend owns a card shop and if I can streamline this enough, he may want to use it so customers can find what they need more quickly.
