About Databases
|
A database is just a structure that lets you store
information, sometimes very large amounts of it, then
modify it and display it when required.Your databases
might be, for example
catalogues of your products with descriptions and prices
dynamic inventory information
an index of your services with rates
details of your range of accommodation and tariffs
accommodation bookings
descriptions of your tours
tour bookings
customer information
accounting records
|
| And you can use it via a web
browser! |
|
What this means to you is that you can have the best
of both worlds. Not only can you or your staff can
work on the same database, adding products, changing
prices - and let's not forget about shipping orders -
but, if you wish, you can deploy your database via an
interactive website, where your customers can make
inquiries, order your products, book accommodation or
whatever your business entails - and do it there and then
- in real time.
That's what we call the "front end". The
"back end" is where you will have the ability
to carry out all the stock control, accounting functions,
ordering, financial management and costing that you would
expect in your in-house software.

| Which database? |
|
We used to develop our web based databases mainly under ASP.NET,
using C# programming language and using Microsoft
SQL Server databases.
However, frankly, other excellent database management systems and development tools are available. In addition, many people don't wish to install the .NET framework.
As a result, we have been moving more and more to the use of PHP
programming language and MySQL databases, which are
Open Source products (so cost nothing to use) and don't require .NET
to operate. In fact, they are built into the packages offfered by most hosting servers.
