Microsoft Access Database Hosting

Database hosting is a breeze with Microsoft Access 2000, a powerful relational database application that a web developer can use to efficiently create database driven web sites. Access targets the desktop category and works best for individuals and workgroups managing megabytes of data. For multi-user access to the same database, Access uses file-server architecture, rather than client-server architecture. Access is included in the Professional and Developer Editions of Microsoft Office.

As a leader in the desktop database category, Microsoft® Access makes it easy for users to find and manage their data to make better business decisions. With strong integration with Microsoft Office, Access offers a similar appearance and functionality to that found in the popular Microsoft Word and Excel applications. For general business users, Access provides ease-of-use database wizards throughout, such as the Database Wizard for getting up and running quickly, and the Simple Query Wizard for easily finding information from the data. More advanced users appreciate the power behind the Microsoft Visual Basic® for Applications programming language, programmable toolbars, and the freely distributable runtime version of Access available with the Office Developer Edition. The combination of ease-of-use and power in Access makes it the top choice among developers who frequently use an Access database as a front-end to SQL Server as the backend database in a client-server scenario.

Access has two major components. The first contains an application development environment for Visual Basic for Applications programmers that include forms technology, reports and database administration. In addition, as mentioned earlier, there is also the User Interface (UI) common to both Access and the other Office applications.

The second component in Access, and the main topic of this paper, is the data engine. Before Access 2000, users and database developers were using the Jet data engine, whether they knew it or not. In the next version, users and database developers will be given a choice of data engines. They can continue with an improved version of the default Access data engine Jet 4.0, or MSDE, a new data engine option in Access 2000.

SQL Server Database Hosting

When database hosting requirements dictate greater scalability, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 offers XML features specifically designed for Web and database developers. Web developers do not have to learn database programming to make use of SQL Server 2000 XML features because SQL Server 2000 supports standard XML constructs, such as XPath, to allow them to interact with the database. Similarly, database developers do not have to learn XML programming and can use the FOR XML clause to obtain XML query results and OPENXML to manipulate the XML data. Lastly, SQL Server 2000 provides a simple declarative mechanism, XML Views, to define schema mapping for business-to-business transactions. 

Although many customers may have dedicated web servers, they do not always require dedicated database servers. HyperlinkHost offers shared SQL Server database hosting for all customers within its facilities. Customers receive a set amount of disk space and DBO privileges to their databases. Of course, dedicated database servers are always available to our customers. The shared option should really only be used by customers in development or expecting light amounts of database traffic.

MySQL Database Hosting

For database hosting requirements that do not require heavy demand, MySQL makes an inexpensive alternative. Open source has brought a lot more than Linux to the computing world. It has also given us PHP and MySQL. According to some, PHP and MySQL are a great combination for creating data-driven sites. In the first installment of this three-lesson tutorial, our Kiwi guide covers everything you need to know to begin developing database hubs. He gives instructions for installation on both Unix and Windows, and then goes on to show some simple scripts that will insert information into a database and display that data on a Web page. Since its founding in 1995, MySQL has managed to establish itself as the provider of the best-known open source database on the market and hopes to dent the armor of big name vendors such as IBM, Oracle, and Microsoft.

Database hosting has become an integral part of a web developer's arsenal. Without it, many things we do would become very tedious, perhaps impossible tasks. Banks, universities, and libraries are three examples of organizations that depend heavily on some sort of database system. On the Internet, search engines, online shopping, and even the website naming convention (http://www...) would be impossible without the use of a database. A database that is implemented and interfaced on a computer is often termed a server.

One of the fastest SQL (Structured Query Language) database servers currently on the market is the MySQL server. MySQL is a true multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server.
