Question: SQL & Web Databases
This question relates to category Glossary
Answer:
Below is an overview of the 3 main database technologies included with various Redalto Web Hosting plans.
SQL is the most popular computer language used to create, retrieve, update and delete data from relational database management systems. It is used in the construction of complex web applications which require the storage and retrieval of data (information). There are 2 common SQL database technologies. Choosing which to use is primarily determined by which hosting platform you are running your website on:
MySQL is the SQL version running on Linux servers. It is the most common database used on the internet and is known to be highly reliable and functional.
MS SQL (Microsoft SQL Server) is the relational database management system produced by Microsoft and interoperates with Active Server Pages (ASP)
MS Access is another database technology available to Windows Server hosting plans. MS Access can be used as the database for basic web based applications hosted on Microsoft's Internet Information Services (IIS) and utilises Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP). Because Microsoft-SQL has high licencing costs, MS Access can be a cost-effective database solution for websites hosted on Windows (IIS) Servers.
