Your best (free) solution would most likely be a MySQL back end with PHP scripting. How to put it all together? Given that there are dozens of books on the subject I think a response to that is well beyond the scope of as message board reply. For the Databse I would take a look at my thread in the DB forums "Some useful database links". For Dreamweaver, run through the tutorials. They are well put together and informative. If you have specific questions put it in a new topic and we, the members of Astahost, will do our best to give an answer.

The most common and most widely supported database software (as stated above) would be MySQL. It is also very simple to use and most web hosts (including AstaHost) have some version of MySQL installed. If you are trying to make a social network, you should download Lamp or Wamp (linux/windows Apache MySQL PHP). This will give you a good starting point for your server. Once you finish it (or before depending on what you want to do) you can upload it to a professional server like AstaHost as long as it includes PHP and MySQL and they are the same version that you developed the site with. The advantage of not hosting it yourself is you can keep developing, turn off your computer and avoid getting hacked. That assumes that you are planning on making a text based/usually web based social network such as Facebook, MySpace and even some parts of Astahost. If you want to go more advanced, you may need to make your own database or modify an open source one (however this is usually only for professional programmers and is very rarely done even then). Good Luck, Sparkx

I would have to agree with what's mentioned above. MySQL is by far the most common and accepted as 'best' free database software. There are others but really there isn't enough of a benefit to them to warrant using them over MySQL when there is such a wealth of information available for MySQL and how well it integrates with other technologies found commonly around the net.

So, you have your answer, Mysql is the best choice for the database. Now comes the question you did not ask : how to build a social networking site. You are familiar with dreamweaver 8, that's a good point. However, Dreamweaver will only create the html pages. You need something more in order to make your website be a social networking site. How do you imagine such a site ? Is this organized around a forum ? Or did you already think about something more relevant ? Yordan

MySQL is the most common choice of database for web developers, as it is the most widely available database associated with web hosting plans. I suppose you could use other ones like MSSQL, which may work better if the database server needs to be integrated with other Microsoft applications and services. When building your site, you will probably need more than just Dreameaver, since it can really only help you code the frontend and backend. You will probably need a method of connecting to your database, e.g. PHP or ASP, and an application to edit database content e.g. phpMyAdmin or Navicat.

be sure ! the best db for larg db with more than 40,000,000 records is oracel ! like : facebook.com google.com twitter.com and .... but for smaller than this : sql oracel is very fast and aql is very easy! so better to use sql.

Another point to note would be prices, where mysql is open source and free I dont know if oracle has any version that is free, and I know there full fledged versions are not as they are meant to be for the corporate world and have paid support in place. True oracle has places it shines the brightest but for personal use it isn't that feasible.

oracel is very fast and aql is very easy! so better to use sql. Are you really talking about a new software named oracel ? Or is this simply a mistyping for Oracle ?

Of course it has some problems, but the big "fan base" it has behind itself really does help a lot. What use is a perfect programming language if no one uses it, if no one is there to help you when you run into some problems? I am not saying that this is the case with other database systems, but I am saying that MySQL is the easiest to deal with - something very important for every beginner.

QUOTE (willielwgg @ Oct 22 2008, 09:24 PM) MySQL is probably the best. You may want to look around for software rather than making your own, unless you are an advanced programmer. MySQL is not the BEST in my opinion, it's widely used, but it has it's problems, minor ones which sum up and gets quite annoying, databases which aren't free or open source like Oracle are much more powerful. For example, in MySQL you still can't do NOW() by default on a DATETIME data type, which on MSSQL, Oracle is possible for a long time, on MySQL you need to choose Timestamp and etc. which some people don't want to do, why us a timestamp when you can use DATE, DATETIME.
