What is a database?
A database is a collection of data that is organized so that its contents can
easily be accessed, managed, and updated within a structure (Quote-Merriam-Webster
Online Dictionary “http://www.m-w.com/home.htm”).
What is the Database Manager?
The Database Manager is a web based MySQL client that allows you
to create and manipulate a maximum of two MySQL databases. If
you require more than two databases then you may utilize
a different type of database such as: MS Access or MS SQL.
Database Manager is best used for creating databases and tables.
For populating a database, you should consider using a script
(PHP, ColdFusion) or CGI.
How does Database Manager work?
Database Manager builds SQL statements from the various options
that you may choose. This application allows you to review
the queries that have been created before execution. This is
the reason for the "Build SQL Query" button. Viewing
the Query gives you an opportunity to review the query before
running it. Clicking the "Run SQL Query" button submits
the query to the SQL server.
To access the Database Manager, select "Web site Management" from the main menu, and select "DB Manager" from
the Web site Management menu.
