Most of
us lack confidence when approaching the unknown.
To some of us, and initially, computers may appear quite horrific.
Well, you are here now, and reading this, so you have made
start.
And as you start doing more things, so you will gain more confidence |
It is very difficult for an expert to see things as you

So clarifying, the simple basic things, in a very simple manner,
would seem a good start. |

Fetching and displaying a large amount of database data can
really slow a page down. However, to a skilled ASP hand coder,

| Databases |

Most small business web sites will use a Microsoft
Access database, a simple, stand alone database which will
do most jobs.
Larger businesses will use SQL Server, a much bigger and heavier

Some larger users may prefer Oracle, a bigger, corporate database.
There are other web databases.
