Well you can create as many travelling points you want to. But the selection of the DBMS is the most important. You need to evaluate that what would be the nature of your database, how complex would it be, what would be collection and manipulation of data, how much amount of data mining will be required. If you require a heavy database then i suggest you use Oracle, but it is a bit complex, you should be fine with SQL server I guess...

In my opinion, look upto MySQL, it is the best database for your needs. Incase you have queries regarding its setup, you can lookup to the following professional forums where people discuss such problems :\n\n(1) http://forums.mysql.com/\n(2) http://forums.devshed.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=4\n(3) http://www.ahfb2000.com/webmaster_help_desk/archive/index.php/f-47.html

Also try pinkmonkey and spark notes.  Often if you just do a search for each specific title you will find a great deal of information.\n\nGood luck with it.

You could do this if you know PHP.  You will also have to know how to implament databases using MySQL.

I would suggest keep it simple.  You need a plain database ... use Microsoft Access, or even Excel.\n\nIf Excel, you need to be careful while structuring and entering data.  Since Excel is freeform (flexible), some discipline is required for good results.

www.theultimates.com\nGo to the white pages link. I've actually used this professionally, you can search many databases at one time by name, state, address or even phone number.

pick a company - lets say a shoe store. use a paragraph telling what goes on in a shoe store - keeping an inventory -making sails - keeping books - paying staff etc. Then show how each of these activities could be improved by the use of a computer - speed - accuracy - ability to handle large amounts of data. Then finish it by talking about how a relational data base like Access would handle all of it.

A database does not have to be that complicated. It can be a great help, especially if you can carry it around with you. \n\nIn its simplest form, a database is simply a structured way to organize information. This might be a list of customers, sales figures or even how far you drove to meet with a client. Software for your Windows Mobile powered Pocket PC or Smartphone allows you to access and update that information from anywhere and sync it with the data stored on your office computer. \n\nCROSSMARK, which helps consumer goods manufacturers and retailers ensure that products are on shelves and priced correctly, uses database analytic tools and Pocket PCs to help its field workers fix problems quickly. \n\nWhen its 13,000-plus field workers visit stores, they do not have to waste time trolling for problems. Instead, its database software finds potential issues by analyzing sales data, and alerts field workers through their Pocket PCs. \n\n"We kind of equate it to having a fire truck driving around looking for a fire," says Charlie Orndorff, vice president of Infrastructure Services for CROSSMARK. "Instead, we tell them where the fires are. Through the mobile technology, we're able to do that." \n\nIn the retail industry where profit margins are razor thin, the use of mobile databases has paid immediate dividends. CROSSMARK was able to boost sales of ready-to-eat cereal and disposable diapers by 3 percent. \n\n"That's huge," Orndorff says, "especially in categories that are as mature as those two categories are. That's a huge win." \n\nWhile CROSSMARK developed a custom application to display the data on the Pocket PCs, you don't have to be a programmer—or a large business—to make use of the technology. There are many database applications available already for Pocket PCs and Smartphones. Even if your company isn't making use of mobile databases, you could find it worthwhile to set up your own. \n\nOne possible use could involve using a database to keep track of your expenses and automatically file for reimbursement. \n\nWithout a database, you have to carry receipts around with you all of the time and a paper notebook to keep track of your mileage. When you sit down with all of the paper at the end of the day, it can be tough to remember which expenses resulted from which clients or projects. And there's always a significant risk you could lose one of your scraps of paper – and its data – before you were able to enter it in a more formal system. \n\nA portable database eliminates those problems. You can enter your expenses as soon as you incur them. You can even add special fields and put expenses into your own categories. You can also add flags to help you itemize your deductions for income taxes. \n\nWhile you could accomplish much of this with Pocket Excel, it is often easier with a database. In order to sort and analyze the data later, you would have to set up columns in Excel for every category of information you would like to collect. Each expense would then be a separate row. \n\nYou would have to be very careful to make sure that you entered everything into the appropriate field in your giant grid, which is not the easiest thing to do with a limited viewing area.
