Database driven web sites allow you to manage your online contant
and images.
For example, if you want to allow users to register for a mailing
list or to keep records for any purpose, you're going to require a database driven
site.
The type of database that the site uses will very much depend
on the amount of traffic that you can expect.
A MS Access database can be used for sites with low level use.
Access can only support up to 64 simultaneous connections.
The more powerful MySQL and MS SQL databases are recommended
for sites with heavy traffic.
When planning a web site do your research first and discuss your
requirements with several companies. Make a note of similar sites and decide
on the features that you would like.
Make a list of functions that your site will perform, e.g.
 |
User login |
|
Storage of records |
|
Mailing list |
|
Mailshots |
