Start with reading the documentation on your barcode reader.

Point barcode scanner at barcode, pull trigger on barcode scanner. Barcode scanner acts as keyboards in applications. All you really need to do is write some code to query your database after the barcode has been scanned. And no one is going to mail code to you.

Barcode scanners mostly act as keyboard inputs, unless otherwise configured.
So basically, all you have to do is add a textbox for the scanner to "type" into, and search your DB when you have a valid code in there.

Alternatively, you can configure most scanners to provide a "start" and "end" of scan sequence, which means you can trap the data yourself without the textbox. But you'll have to talk to the manufacturers about that as it varies from machine to machine.

Searching the DB is basic stuff, exactly as if you had typed in the data in manually - and you must have done that a couple hundred times already!
