One of the most common types of dynamic web pages is the database driven type.
The databases are collections of tables. They administrate their tables and the relation between table.
We can establish the following relationships between tables: 1 to 1, 1 to many and many to many.
The speed, accuracy and thoroughness of electronic databases make them critical to today's 24/7 high speed of information. Some advantages of using databases are the following:
- format means quick storage and retrieval of information. Users and applications have a quick meansfor asynchronous reads and writes of data
- information can be gathered, quantified, and custom-analyzed with greater flexibility
- given careful data input, databases provide accurate and consistent results based on their data.
- databases can store and report as complete and detailed as their holdings - at electronicspeed.
Database websites
Content Management Systems are database driven websites where your users can log in and interact with the website. It is dynamic in nature and very easy to add content. Most CMS systems have editors to upload content on the fly.
Some examples of Database Driven Applications are: Forums, Bulletin Boards, Blogs and Store Fronts.
One of the most common types of dynamic web pages is the database driven type. This means that you have a web page that grabs information from a database (the web page is connected to the database by programming,) and inserts that information into the web page each time it is loaded.
If the information stored in the database changes, the web page connected to the database will also change accordingly (and automatically,) without human intervention.
A database driven website can do two things. One, it collects information that is entered into a web page and stores it into a database. Two, it uses that information later when generating web pages. The best part is that all of these complexities are hidden behind elegant, attractive web pages; and updates that previously required a web programmer, can now be done by you, the administrator, with a couple of clicks and without any knowledge of HTML code.
We can add database driven applications to an existing website or build it from scratch.
