Programming, Database Driven Web Sites

Many of the business and ecommerce web sites that you see are driven by an online database. Called a dynamic web site, these database driven web sites provide content such as products, prices, descriptions, press releases and pictures which can all be changed in a flash. All the content is controlled by an administration tool on the online database where information on the web site can be updated quickly.

An online database is a must for web sites that store visitor information such as individual account information and records. All web sites that have a "log in" function are driven by a database to store user names and passwords.
