Doing business online usually requires a database of some sort, whether you are tracking products, customers, or even Web usage.  There are several steps you will need to go through to integrate a database into your Web site.  The first step is choosing the right technology combination of hardware and software.  After you have chosen the platform the real work begins. 

The second step involved the design of the database.  The key to databases is that they are designed well.  After all, your telephone/address book would not be terribly useful if you could not find the number of the person you wanted.  Quality database design is crucial to maximizing the speed and extending its ability.

On the top level, databases are organized into something called data tables.  There can be many data tables in a single database.  If you think of a database as a spreadsheet with rows and columns, you are really thinking of a data table.  Each data table has records (the subject about which you are keeping information) and fields (the categories of information about the record).

If you use our telephone/address book example, then Pizza Galore would be a record; the address, phone number, price of a large pie, and delivery boy’s name would all be fields within that record. 

The first goal of good database design is to eliminate duplication of any information in any of the data tables.  Another goal is to create such well-organized and logical data tables that another developer could pick up the database and understand exactly how it was developed and how it can be modified in the future. 

There are two main types of databases that you can employ on your Web site: relational database or a flat database.  Relational databases are much faster at handling huge amounts of information, such as a database with millions of records.  SQL (structured query language) databases adhere to a standard for creating database queries and are produced by many different software companies.

When moving information from one database to another, the issue of whether each database is ODBC (open database conductivity) compliant arises.  Most databases in use today are ODBC compliant. 

How  we design your database also impacts how your customer will use that database. The interface, or method your customer uses to access the database will be of great quality design. Interface design describes both the computer screens that internal employees might use to maintain the database as well as the screens that customers would use to retrieve information from a database. Good interface design involves both graphic design as well as human factoring engineering.
