| Database
driven website - A technology, through which web pages are
created dynamically using the database features. The achieve
this you must have database capabilities with your hosting
compnany. The technology will gives a web site visitor an
up-to-dated view of information stored in the database. When
the information in the database is updated, site visitors
will immediately see the changes that have been made.
The objective is achieved by saving the information in the
database by creating Content Management System and then retrieving
the same information on the website.
There are many sites, which are bounded up by a dry, outdated
design because, rewriting the hundreds of existing HTML files
and implementing it into the new design would be a very time
consuming job that no enterprise can invest. The only solution
to this is a database-driven site design, which portrays the
collection of information organized and presented to serve
a specific purpose.
If you want to showcase hundreds or thousands of items/ products
it can become a very tedious job to maintain a static web
page for each item and in such situations a database is very
essential. On a database-driven site, a web page is put together
drawing on different fields in a database. Since the pages
are generated again each time the user clicks on the link
to go to them, a database-driven site is dynamic as opposed
to static.
When we create a Database driven website, we see to it that
our clients can do their own maintenance via a set of web-based
data entry forms or by working directly with the database
which is customized according to the clients needs. We design
the web page in such a way so that it is connected to the
database, which in case of any transformation, changes accordingly
and automatically without interference from the programmers
end.
Professional database driven website design is a cost effective
method of developing a website which stores a large amount
of information. Instead of designing all the static pages
in advance, it is better to produce dynamic pages, which generate
the relevant information requested by the viewer.
The most popular database management system is MySQL, because
it is free, and flexible, and most web hosting Companies have
it installed. This can be used in combination with a language
such as PHP or Cold Fusion to create a website which interacts
with the database. An E-commerce site is a bright example
of the use of a database to store the client’s online
orders and billing information.
PHP is possibly the most popular of languages for interacting
with MySQL databases. It can be easily used to create web
pages for your site dynamically. This means that, rather than
a site consisting of many static or unchanging web pages,
each page is generated based on information in your database,
at the time the page is accessed by a user.
The primary scripting languages that we use include JavaScript,
ASP/VBScript, Cold Fusion, Perl and PHP. Our primary databases
are Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, MySQL, and Oracle.
The Database driven websites that we at Futerox develop are
very efficiently developed because we see to it that the site
is dynamically generated or customized to display the information
that is relevant to each visitor. We develop the website in
an interactive way and store information the user enters,
for use in the rest of their visit to the website, or for
use in other activities.
