I am going to assume you mean multiple tables in an data adapter object. Some of the advantages include the ability to work on multiple tables at the same time, then do one update to the underlying database. You can also take much more data offline with you and build your own views without having to ask the database for more data. It also provides a central "area or storage" object to contain different tables/rows and iterate through tables much like objects.\n\nDisadvantages include... like all tables not connected, when you make a change you have to update the underlying database. Sometimes the syntax with working on tables is kinda cryptic unless you are experienced with using .NET.\n\nPersonally I think multiple tables on an adapter was a great idea and to treat them like objects is even better. Nothing much wrong with this technology as long as you make sure everything gets updated when it should.\n\nSorry if this is not what you meant.

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

I think it has to do with the development of online payment, security (all kinds - this area will never cease to develop), storage management (databases will be the heart and soul of any business very shortly... some might say, that time is now, but technology is really pushing the barriers on this one. The use of databases will change and develop quite a lot in the near future - by means the information will be filtered and who knows what).

mySQL should be part of your solution.\n///

If you're going for free webhosting, you'll have a very hard time finding one that offers database technology.  If PHP is allowed on your server, it is possible to create a database and store it to a file, although it depends on why you need the database.\n\nIf you are planning on using already written code that works off of a database such as PHPBB is made to use MySQL, you'll have a hard time imitating this with a custom coded database.\n\nAs the previous answer said, you can use a database on a different webhost, or set up your own web server.

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.

Lot's of people do it.  Personally, if other considerations were roughly equal, I'd go with a non-proprietary SQL database rather than MS Access to keep open source as an option to being locked into MS.

In any DBMS, the data which you input will be stored in the form of records(rows). Its easier in this way to track down a particular record that you are looking for in the DBMS with the help of the Index which will be created in the database, 'coz of which time consumption will be less.\nHope this will help you.

Why a Data Warehouse?\nIt allows for the following benefits to the business and Business Intelligence layer:\n\n1.Speed: The data structure in a Data Warehouse (Star Schema) is the optimal structure for delivering a result set to the Business Intelligence layer; and hence is many times faster then going against Database directly, which has a structure optimized for storing data, not delivering it\n\n2.Pre-Gathered Values: One of the primary challenges in producing reports against Database directly is developing the logical joins and relationships in the data to appropriately deliver reports.  In a Data Warehouse these values are all prepared up front.  This leads to benefit #3\n\n3.Development Speed: If a new report needs to be created against Database today, it will require piecing together the different tables in the database.  Having this work done up front allows reports and universe elements to be created quickly\n\n4.Offloaded Processing:  When the Business Intelligence layer requests data from the database, the database will require processing power to produce the result set.  If Database is being hit directly with this request it will take processing power away from other resources that need the Database database.  Namely the applications themselves\n\n5.Independence:  If the organization ever decides to move away from their application (say a CRM) to another application (another CRM) the Business Intelligence layer can remain in tact as the majority of changes would occur in the Data Warehouse.  However, if Database is being accessed directly by the reports then the organization would be required to rewrite the logic for each and every report individually\n\n6.Singularity:  The Data Warehouse delivers a single location from which the data is extracted giving confidence to the business that there is a single version of the truth.  Additionally, IT benefits from a higher ROI per hour spent producing data relationship logic (in the Data Warehouse), as the logic can be leveraged over and over by the Business Intelligence layer\n\nImportant things to be aware of in a Data Warehouse\nThe benefits of a Data Warehouse are great but they require and awareness of the following items:\n\n1.Scheduled Data:  The data in a Data Warehouse is extracted (from Database), transformed, and then loaded into the Data Warehouse (another database).  This is a scheduled process and thus the data will not be “live” against the database.  This doesn’t mean that values cannot be pulled live for certain report values outside the Data Warehouse; but in general the Business Intelligence implementation will be pulling from data that is a day or half-day old.  This can also become a benefit, as the schedules can be kicked off when other processes finish, thus avoiding the danger of delivering incomplete numbers to the business. (ie. receiving a report that ran before the accounting books closed in the system, producing incompatible results, unbeknownst to the business)\n\n2.Investment:  The implementation of the Data Warehouse needs to be seen as a long term investment.  Inevitably, down the road there will be business processes that change, or business that are added, requiring these results to be reflected in the Data Warehouse.  Hence, best practices, and a strong starting point are critical.

There are several good contact management databases available. Each with their own pros and cons. Act is certainly affordable if you want to store the program and database on your pc that travels with you. Otherwise, there is a program called Indeo available for use with connecting to the database remotely over the internet (I was unable to find their homepage). If you're only accessing the database in an office, and you want the information to reside on the server and not your laptop or desktop pc, then you could check into goldmine.

There is two basic concepts with database security:\n\n1. Access Control \n\nOnly let those who you want to have access and permissions to do what you want to allow them to do.\n\n2. Data Security\n\nIf data is obtained from the database, to what extent is the data protected.  Encryption is the concept here.

Um, it's a database. You put data in it. You query data and get reports. You stick them on the net and have dynamic websites. Databases do that. However, this is Access we're talking about which is an unmitigated pile of crap. The only thing Access helps is the sale of painkillers when users repeatedly punch themselves in frustration.

That will not be a database program because no database is involved!\n\nWhat language is the answer to be coded in?\n\nHow will the data be organised?\nOne line per data item?  \nThis will need x reads per property.  Will also leave blank lines where items missing.\n\nOne line per property.  Will there be fixed size data items or will you have a seperator? The seperator cannot be used in the data item!
