Learn about Databases
A database is used for multiple
purposes. It
- stores information to display on a webpage
- stores information about the user
- updates the site frequently
Information contained in the database, such as a catalog of products, can be displayed on the webpage, including pictures.
When the user gives information about himself
you will want to customize the site so it meets
his needs. The information can also be stored and
used the next time he returns to the site.
The third reason to use a database is to
update the site frequently, automatically from
information stored in a database. With frequent
changes the site will stay interesting and
attract repeat users.
