Start with deciding how you will store it in memory. That will drive whether you need a database and what it should look like. What type of database to you intend to use? That will also be important.

I didn't decite, still, becouse i dont know work with database. Can you suggest me the easyest ? I want to make some program like school diary but electronic version.
So, there will be name, rate, number .. etc. All of this components i like put up from keyboard. I must have database, i know. View bold.

Well, Im assuming you want to link delphi with Database. Thats what im currently doing. Its quite complicated if you dont know how to start. You have to use ADOs and JET engines and Connections etc.

It looks to me as the best here was to save the data to a data file, which of course could be a file database...

I'll second Orjan's statement. If databases are intimidating you, save it to file.

Where i should start with learning database ? Give me some advice .... give me information who i will need and you think i need.
thanks ...

Best is to start learning SQL, which is the very most used language to use databases. try this tutorial for example: SQL Tutorial
