Hi:
Thanks, and that's what I am doing now
I always have Access with the Office programs from version 1.0 although I
don't use it much at all.
In addition to it's free, it also has nice wizard for DB that is commonly
used for personal or small business, such as contact management which is the
one I am using now.
But I found out recently, that scripting language (SQL specifically) is not
"quite" the same for Access and other more heavy-weight DB, such as MS SQL
and so on.
For example, I just learned that "store procedures" is the "query" in Access
and its query is not identical to the query meant by others. Of course,
there are other minor syntax differences. Also, thinking ahead, the
ultimate goal is to open up an online store, which I would doubt if Access
is enough.
For the above two reasons, and since I am new to learn this, I thought it
would be better for me to learn and start to use some sort of heavy-weight
DB.
Just one more question and appreciate if anyone could help:
Should I install SQL web data administrator into program files as other
applications or into inetpub/www?
I have installed, removed, and reinstalled and checked as many articles from
the net as possible, but still could not figure out how to properly use it.
One article says, it's pretty easy and just type"
http://webserver/webadmn/default.aspx after installation. Well, it did not
work.
If I copied and pasted the web folder from program files to www after
installation, and make the new folder in the web root as a FP sub web, it
gives me configuration error which I don't know how to correct.
If I retain it in its original folder, I've got another obvious error, can't
find the file.
I am really frustrated by this. By setting up mySQL and phpmyadmin is
somewhat less troublesome.
Anyway, thanks in advance.
