Hello frens I have a technical question. I want to make a database of some kind where you can link traits to an item and have it simultaneously do the reverse. I realize this is vague but think of it like a wiki where you have a page for a movie and you tag the movie with a certain actor. I want the actor's page to be automatically tagged with the movie at the same time without me having to do it manually. That's just an example but yeah something like that.
Is this what database software is for? I've never used it. Please help my autism needs your help

You don't, actually, because you don't even know enough about the subject yet. You're just expressing some vague wish in the hopes that somebody will read your mind and magically deduce what you don't know yourself, and point you in a useful direction.

Claude code could easily do this if you could sit down and focus for a few hours

Yes, database software is good for this.

Also, up front, please see: >>>/g/

For something simple, I recommend a typical relational database software like SQLite. This database language is called "SQL".
You'll also see things like MySQL/MariaDB, PostreSQL, and more, which are all basically the same underlying technology, but those all require running a server that you have your client connect to, and is a pain, especially for a complete beginner, and they're also unnecessary for your relatively simple task.
SQLite has the advantage of running completely locally, no server required, since all it does and read and write to single database files on disk.

You can also explore graphing databases! These are the new cool kids on the block, especially for loose lists of items and their traits, and being able to find paths between multiple items. These databses are how services like Netflix analyze your watching preferences to recommend you more content; graph DBs are used very often for recommendation engines.
The software that most casual people use is called Neo4j. This database language is called "Cypher".

Hope this helps.
