Estimated lines of code

You can create a "typical" customer database in MS Access without "writing" any code.

What you are asking is like asking is there a way to determine many pieces it will take to build an airplane ... before the plane is designed.

Not trying to be smart, just realistic, based on the info you've given us.

I would have to agree with my friend here in answer one. Databases DO NOT have lines of code, they are simply means of storing information in an organized way. As for the lines of code a program will have, think about it this way: If you were asked to write an essay, would you be able to tell me how many pages you can come up with, without me giving you a subject to write on?

Just a small explanation so you can understand the concepts better.

Good Luck!

You do not include enough information for anyone to help you. You need to specify type of database, appoximate number of fields, what front end programming will be used to get the info in or out, and the number of users and system it runs on. Contractors estimate code for RFPs all the time based on requirements. You cannot estimate generalities, only specific requirements
