A database is used to store data in tables to help your business be more efficient and provide a better and faster service to your website visitors, by providing relevant and accurate information to each of your clients in a personal way.

MYSQL is a ' relational database managemt system' .This is the tool I use to develop databases for my customers.An example of a database put to good use for your company would be :

You own a Car dealership and want to store all the types of cars, colors, pictures, specs, prices so that based on certain search criteria, an user online can view uptodate, accurate and relevant information about your cars........lets say, I am Joe Bloggs and I arrive in your site, In the search box provided, I search for Van that is less than 3 years old, made by Ford and within a price range from €10,000 to €15,000. A well developed database will list any stock you may have that fits this criteria.This both benefits the customer with a fast and efficient search and you with a potential buyer.

Finally, combining PHP with MSQL is proving to be a very effective tool is developing customer driven, relevant and useful websites for business around the world.Having these two tools working together for your website means your website is fulfilling what it is meant to do, increase your markets and sales and decrease your costs (due to efficient management of company data and customer data)

* Costs vary from project to project depending on the size and complexity of your database.
