Try looking at Devshed.com for tutorials, though I would recommend you start
with PHP rather than ASP while you're learning since it will save you
messing around with MyODBC, which I understand is required for ASP.

Subject: FN-FORUM beginning with databases


Hi

I want to get going with databases but don't really know where to start, and
wondered if anyone could help me. My main intended use is building a
database driven web site.

I have a book on SQL, and am learning it, although it's all abstract as I
have nothing to use it with. I was thinking of going the Microsoft route,
but what would I use to actually build the database? SQL server? I'm afraid
this is the bit I don't quite understand. I've been told MS Access is not
very scaleable and Oracle is very hard to set up.

I'm ready and poised to go buy another book to get this SQL stuff into
context, and cant wait to get something going so I can play with this stuff
(which is of course a great way to learn too). Eventually I want to get my
head round ASP as well.

If anyone can help get my muddled concepts into some kind of order, and
perhaps point me in a good direction for technologies to use, advice would
be appreciated.

TIA
