Hello everyone!

I'm a beginner with databases and I'm getting started with building a front end for my database so that end users can add/edit data. I've been trying to find information about this online but I guess I'm not searching the right words because I can't seem to get a hit.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. My database is built in Azure SQL.

Any major development environment will work with Azure SQL database. (.Net, Java, PHP, Python etc)

As you are asking this question I assume you do not have much development experience. If this is the case you may want to look at Azure Power Apps which Microsoft say can be used by non-developers. I have not looked at them myself. I presume they are a bit limiting but might get you started.

You should check out this SQL Bits presentation on SQL Injection by Grant Fritchey before you connect a website to a database. This will help you get a handle on keeping your data safe. Don't worry if you don't fully understand it all just yet. Keep it in mind and refer back to it as you progress and it will help protect your data.

WHAT are you trying to build the front-end with?

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.
"Change is inevitable... change for the better is not".
