Databasing on the cloud

Hi, so I'm working on a Java project and the main problem I'm having is that I've not learnt Java yet (lol) but I've been tasked with setting up the user database and then filtering out users that aren't within a set range by postcode.

How could I implement a really simple database (using the cloud) for users that would contain a username, details and postcodes that I can then use in a class that contains a method to filter the users based on their postcode stated in the database?

I have no idea what you mean by "the cloud" in this context.

When you say cloud do you mean MangoLab? StormDb? etcc

The project is pretty much done now, it was for the Festival of Code. I wanted a way to store a user database on some form of cloud implementation. I found Iris Couch but decided to just set up a CouchDB but then as we were so constrained by time we couldn't get it all to work well in time.

Anyway, this thread should probably be closed now

I was looking at Iris Couch...but see my other post...we only had 4 days (Festival of Code) and we couldn't get something done about it in time :/ and now users are just stored in a text file haha...not elegant but it'll do.
