I'lll be honest I dont care about security, I recognize that at some point we will send it to a datacenter so they run front end encryption and backend encryptions. But untill then I am just trying to get this setup, I do really appreciate your responses I have begun to set up the sql server and will later run everything needed.

Hello so my assignment is to create a card system. Currently every time a customer comes in we need to scan their ID every time. we want the customer's to come in we scan their  Identification card once instead of having to scan their ID's every time. Once we scan their ID we want to print out a card that has a bar code and score system on the card,  This is for a rewards system so we can see how many times they come in and at which stores they come in and also track their information as they use it over the country. I am curious How I would go about doing this, My guess is first I would need to set up a database and be able to enter information and from there be able to correlate this data to the card. Any suggestions would be amazing even if its "google database blah blah blah" Thank you
