sir,First of all i respect u a lot, i am not that experienced with it, so let me tell u some details,

my neighbor is a doctor, he has a software for his clinic(microbiological),
he has got it developed from some other person 4 yrs ago and he has many other hospitals merged to his clinic for blood testing and its patient reports.

so, now he wants a website, where he only updates his software but it should be reflected to the website such that,

whenever Doctor 'A' login to his website, only those reports of the patients which are sent by him should be shown to him in the website, from there itself he takes the printout.

similarly for rest of the doctors.

sir, is it possible?

Is it possible? How can we know that? You did not provide any information on that software.
If data is somehow still accessible (you did not tell us even that), you can always use it; the question is about the amount of required effort.

Is it possible? How would we know? We don't know anything at all about your database or your application. Did you at least try it?

Okay so make it happen then. Since you have not told us anything relevant to your project, good luck.

He din't know about that database fields and others issues ..

Did the OP say that somewhere? I missed that.

However, there is clearly not enough information to help at all which is why I gave the generic solution.
