What is a tool to build an offline GUI for a SQL database

Question

I want to build a simple GUI to member database of our smallish club. Today it is really Excel sheets which I have to import first.
I can write SQL searches like, who has paid his membership dues and so on, but others are also going to use it, and using it must simpler than writing SQL queries.
It must also be offline, anything with web will cause problems here.

Answer 1

First you can decide what database system to use. Current versions of Windows have SQLite. You can use the following to help you decide if you want to use it.

• Appropriate Uses For SQLite
• Using SQLite on a Network

I am not familiar with tools for non-programmer development of database programs. If you want to learn programming then I suggest finding a book about using C# and Entity Framework.

Answer 2

Is C# and entity Framework a good way to use with SQLlite? I havn't heard of Entity Framework before. It looks like it is somekind of DB Add on for .NET. I don't remember if .NET had Database API without ADD ons. That is, is it needed.

Answer 3

It must also be offline,

How should that work? If an application have to work with data, then it have to access it in any way.
Why not using one of that many cloud base database as SaaS solution, there are many around and some offers free database with some limitation, like database size?

I havn't heard of Entity Framework before.

Entity Framework is an ORM = Object-Relation (database) mapper, it's a kind of bridge between the relational database world and the object-oriented programming world; all on client side, not on DB side.

Answer 4

The database and GUI have to be in same machine. No need to put anything on the net.
