database inside a database?

[dwsdad]

Here's what I want to do:

I want the ability for my visitors to input certain data about their vehicles into a table or flat file from within vBulletin. I think I'll only need about 10 fields. I guess you could think of this as a kind of registration database. Is there a way to do this, or an existing template that I could modify? I'm open to any ideas or suggestions.

Thanks!

What do you want to do with the data? If it's just display it or do basic things with it, you could just create 10 user profile fields then the users would be able to fill them out in their Usercp and they would show up on their profiles.

That's a thought. I don't think there'd be any need to display the data, BUT I could see where it might be interesting to pull some demographics from it at some point. Can I add fields to the profile?

If you mean how see here:

Hey, thanks!! I just took a quick look at the database and it looks like once the data's entered, I can run a query to extract the info I'd like to see. I think this'll work! Again, many thanks!
