Am looking for a software for my team at work to create a database and also incorporate timeline support in it. So some of the tables will be populated with certain dates and with a few clicks, it would ideally be able to create a timeline the likes of this - http://www.timelinemaker.com/index.php?p=products_pro_sampletimelines

We were planning to use access and this software separately but I was wondering if there was some other software out there (paid is fine) which could do it?

Alternatively, for a relatively straightforward database, is Access the best option?
 
Access is fine for a small database, designed/built by noobs. Wizard based by and large it is relatively idiot proof.

MySQL is free and quite a strong, standard choice. In fact Facebook developed their Timeline using it.

The commercial standard for a database is Oracle.
 
Thanks. From what I can tell, timelines in access are possible only through the use of VB scripts that I don't have any experience with. Is there an add-on or anything that would automate it?
