Integrate DBs with Websites

  • I need to know what are the different options available for integrating DBs into Websites.

    I am talking simple here ... Not about sites like amazon.com.

    Do the options vary depending on DB (Access, SQL Server, Oracle etc)

    Is this a responsibility of DBA ? If not whose responsibility is this ?

    when i tried goggling most of the hits lead to tools like coldfusion, php? (Is this the solution)

    And can i immediately test/practice it on my machine?

    Sorry about too many questions .. 😛

  • What is it you want to do? Are you hosting the websites locally or is a third party going to host? Are they intended for public access or as an internal Intranet? What back-end do you intend to use? If you simply want to play locally to get a feel start with SQL Express + Visual Web Developer Express Edition. Create Aspnetdb http://andrewgunn.blogspot.com/2008/02/how-do-i-create-aspnetdb-database.html. To access the data in your database via your website write stored procedures.

  • It for people to access/add/update their Info.

    Most of the time people do custom search in website..

    We should run a select query and post the results to web.

  • I think you're confused.

    A website is a front end application that allows users to view something or do something. A database system stores data. They can be used together, with a database providing data to a website, but they don't have to be. The website could store it's data in flat files or XML files on it's own file system.

    Maybe you ought to start with something like this: http://www.html.net/tutorials/html/introduction.asp

    Or a basic ASP.NET site - http://asp.net-tutorials.com/basics/first-website/

    Or this for C# - http://www.cristiandarie.ro/asp-net-tutorial/
