Question by shyam29june: How to manage the database thru web hosting service? How to check the number of users a web site can handle?
Hi,

We intend to collect the data thru a website. We choose to go with one of the web hosting service for this purpose. I want to check if there is any check list that will ensure the perfect management of our web based database.

The other question is, How many number of parallel user can use the web site (in general) and how do I know the number of users that can be hanled by my website.

No. It is possible to find the IP address of every web site you go to. This is the principle of the Domain Name System (DNS).

It would be a HUGE security issue If you were able to access a site’s database (DB) from just their IP address. If that were the case, I could view Google’s database and find user passwords for GMail. It just isn’t possible from an outsider’s standpoint.

However, if you have the necessary items to view a databse, you should be able to access, read, and modify a database.

You need the domain name of the SQL server (usually mysql.example.com), the DB username, and the DB password. You can make a connection to a database through a scripting language such as PHP.

W3Schools has a great tutorial on PHP and MySQL interconnecting. Here’s the link:

Question by mystic_eye_cda: If you use Access to create a database, and a web form for input is it easy to host it on a website?
I am just trying to find the easiest, idiot proof way of creating a webpage to view and enter data in one basic table.

This if for my husbands company and I really don’t want to get involved with the stupidity that is inevitably going to be involved in this. Too many people with no clue not knowing what they want and changing their mind every 5 minutes.

So if I can set it up so their website can just host an Access database and use Access design elements to create the webpage I can wash my hands of the whole thing.

But for some reason I just can’t seem to figure it out? Anyone have a good tutorial, or has done this before and can help me out?

Their webserver hosts a virtual Microsoft Server 2003, if that helps?

Thanks.

Its brainless but you should check with your hosting provider because they prob give you SQL for free. Even though its overkill for your application it won’t be apt to corrupt like Access and Access wasn’t developed for the web or multiple users.

It was developed to be part of the Office suite for personal use.

Here’s a better suggestion for a database.

For a Free Database:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/express/aa718406.aspx

The program to build your app:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/express/aa718378.aspx

to practice with and then copy it straight to your SQL Server. Or just use it locally from one of your machines.

Access uses a watered down version of VB so if you can program in Access you’ll like this.
