Earpy Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I know it's possible, but I can't find any tutorials on it at all! I want to create a membership system (with login) using a Microsoft Access database insted of a MySQL. Can somebody point me in the direction on a tutorial on this? Thanks in advance to anybody who helps! Edit: I am programming in PHP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercifull Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 MS Access is poor for providing logins for a website. Not only is it really sluggish but its incredibly insecure. Is there any reason why you cannot use MySQL? There are a few places that allow remote sql databases for limited personal use if you search google.

Earpy Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 I just don't feel comfortable with MySQL. I have tried to learn how to use it, to no avail. I find it hard to learn:( It's weired, I found PHP fairly easy to learn and I had no problem remebering it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earpy Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 PostgreSQL Can you explain what is meant by "PostgreSQL"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 PostgreSQL Can you explain what is meant by "PostgreSQL"? PostegreSQL is another database system, much like MySQL. They aren't the same system, but can be used to accomplish the same ends. Like Merc said, using Access for a website system is a pretty bad idea. You'd also be much more flexible in the future if you know how to use MySQL or another more widely used DB system. The MySQL website has tons of information on it if you're every looking for something also. PHPmyadmin and the MySQL administer/query browser are very useful tools.

Earpy Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 Thank you all for your replies. I have installed MySQL on my computer and am attempting to use the Query browser with it, however when I open it, I am asked to enter the Server host. It is on my computer. I enter Localhost, with my username and password, and it says: Error connecting to Earpy@localhost (Using password:yes) Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____ Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 If you don't want to use MySQL - use Oracle. It's actually better, and the developer release isn't that big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earpy Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Thank you all for your replies. I have decided I am going to learn MySQL and it is going to stick in my head! I am going to make it :). Thanks for all your help and advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galvanos Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 or you could try oracle, if you had a few million bucks to spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
