Synook Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 This is the right forum.1. what is it?It is a database system that can be run in conjunction with web servers.2. what is it for?Storing data in a structured format.3. why do you need it?To store data from your website. So, for example on this forum, all the posts, user details, etc. would be stored in databases (MySQL or another system but they are all similar).4. How do you use it?You can interface the database through PHP's mysql functions, or though the equivalent another server side language, by using Structured Query Language (SQL). To learn SQL, you can use W3School's SQL tutorial! http://www.w3schools.com/sql/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
