Relational Databases
Relational databases are key to most dynamic sites on the web today. Just like any other technology, relational databases have to be properly designed and implemented. A poorly designed database will function, but the web site's performance will be very poor and get worse as more data is added to the database.
When we construct a dynamically data-driven site, we first design the database. We build the database, tune the indexes to the database for quick access, then build the web application your organization needs.
We usually develop dynamic web sites using MySQL. This product is an open-source relational database that is fast, robust and low cost to operate. MySQL is also robust enough for nearly all business uses.
Various types of relational databases available:
MySQL and MS-Access
We offer two free databases on our Windows accounts. Both MySQL and MS-Access may be used on the Windows account. For Linux, only MySQL is available as a free database.
MS SQL 2000
MS SQL 2000 is available as an add-on to any of our hosting accounts. MS SQL 2000 is recommended for those applications requiring extremely heavy database utilization and advanced SQL programming. Many commercial software applications will require this type of database.
Charges are per database required.
