need database
Hey guys - I'm trying to learn Javascript and need to create a database to try out my program and haven't a clue. I keep hearing about Access, Oracle,.... I don't have anything like that. What do you use & how?

You might want to check out the book "PHP, MySQL & JavaScript" by Robin Nixon. I don't know if that is what you're looking for, but for me MySQL is a pretty cool database. Most website hosting companies have MySQL and you could even use MySQL locally on you computer (I use EazyPHP] - It's Free.

Easiest way to get MySQL set up locally, IMO, is to run AppServ - it sets up your local machine to act as a web server testbed. Installs Apache/PHP/MySQL for you to use.

SQLite is good for throwaway databases. I use it for development stages of projects i'm working on. Not exactly sure what you are trying to do though...

appserv generally isn't recommended any more, as it's outdated and overly complex. Try XAMPP instead.

It includes MySQL and phpmyadmin. You'll still need to know how to make use of them.
You may want to browse the bookstore shelves for intro to database or MySQL books. However, first you may want to search for pre-built solutions for what you're trying to accomplish. |
