[milikodasso]

i am current developing an inventory system and a point of sale for a retailing shop and i don't know where to start because they want me to integrate barcode for each item because they want to use the scanner. please i need help.

I really need to know how to create barcode for item and how to reference them in MySql server.

The barcode already exists on the item. If you don't have a barcode for each item you can try generating them using a library like http://code.google.com/p/zxing/.

Or if you choose bar code hardware, they will provide some kind of library for you to use.
