It seems to me is that you want a simple updateable view of a database
table(s). (P.S. In database terminology, at least, it would be called
an updateable view).

Depending on your situation, this could be something very simple and
could/should(?) be done with a simple Active Record pattern...or could
get relatively complicated since there are so many variables. On the
UI...do you want to have a page refresh between new records or do you
want to leverage AJAX?

Check out some more information on the Active Record pattern (http://
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_record_pattern) and possibly something on
AJAX if you're so inclined (not a necessity, of course).
