Help re databases in Dreamweaver 8

I am looking to set up a members database using Dreamweaver 8. I have MS Access. Is there an easy way of doing this and having a "login" facility based on membership category. The website is stored locally and uploaded to remote server via FTP connection.

Many web based membership systems run in PHP/MySQL on Linux servers (rather than MS Access which usually ties you to a Windows server).
You can develop this locally using WAMP http://www.wampserver.com/en/ then upload your site to a PHP-enabled server.

Need help connecting database in Dreamweaver MX

I'm using Dreamweaver MX, XP Pro and IIS. I installed the
latest version of PHP (5.2) and have mySQL and the ODBC driver
installed.
I set up the testing site in Dreamweaver. Yet, Dreamweaver
cannot locate my database(s).
I followed steps to edit the PHP.INI file to work with
Dreamweaver correctly, yet it's not working. However, now instead
of getting "An unidentified error has occured", I'm getting the
vague "HTTP Error Code 500 Internal Server Error" error.
PHP was installed manually at first but that didn't work
right so I reinstalled it using the auto install. It should be
accurate, only I can't see where I would enter the path to the
database files; there is no line for that in the SQL section. But
it's in the default directory so it should know where it is
automatically ... ?
Help???!!! Can someone walk me through the steps to see why
it isn't pointing to the databases?

Searchable database in Dreamweaver CS6

I can't find any tutorials. i just learned how to kind of use dreamweaver, TWO days ago. My teachers want me to make a website for another school, here is the story
Im in EAST (Environmental and Spatial Technologies). Now, our goals are to do projects with a need or change in mind.
My project is for a small school about an hour away. They wanted their Alumni photos to be digitized and put into a searchabel database by grad.date, Name, and Val. Sal. type things.
Well I kinda have the site made for them already, I just have absolutely no idea how to make a searchable database, i have no clue how to read code, we have no books about this stuff.
We are supposed to learn by using tutuorials, but i couldn't find any about this specifically. And on a side note, I have the table done in Access already, on a PC. BUT I'm using dreamweaver on a Mac. -.-
Any help is great. I HAVE to use dream weaver so please don't tell me to switch programs, this is the only one on this computer.
file:///Users/user/Desktop/WynonaPublicSchool/index.html
That is my site so far. It's only the beginning!!

This is NOT something you really want to attempt if you do not know anything about database set up in conjunction with Dreamweaver.
The basic principle is you set up a 'search form' on your website for instance 'search by name'
<form name="search" method="post" action="searchDetails.php">
<p>
<label>Search by Name<br>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="" />
</label>
</p>
<p>
<label>Search
<input type="submit" name="search" id="search" value="Search">
</label>
</p>
</form>
This from is linked to a Dreamweaver page which gets the information from a database based on the value input into its 'name' field.
That's the easy bit!
I don't know anything about Access database and what server language you require to be using to connect to it but whichever server language and database combination you choose to use the principle is the same.
First I would establish what server language you are going to use and what database.
Then you need to set up a local testing environment on your computer by downloading XAMPP or WAMP or MAMP which ever is suitable for the server/database language youre going to use.
Once you have installed that you can create a database and import or insert the information into it. You can then establish a 'connection' to it in Dreamweaver by going to Window>Server Behaviours>Connect.
Ok now youre lost...so I wont go on........see what I mean this isnt going to be as simple as ABC If you've never done it before.
I don't know if this link will make it any clearer or whether it will confuse you even more:

How do you display database in Dreamweaver CS6?

Trouble displaying 'greendata' database in Dreamweaver CS6
I am working on the exercise files for Adobe's Dreamweaver CS6 "Classroom In A Book", CH. 13 'Working with Online Data'. The problem I am facing is that the database provided in the exercise files ‘greendata’ is not being listed when I go to select a database.
I followed the specific instructions; but, I am still new to Dreamweaver and programming.
The MySQL Connection is working on the MySQL server 'localhost' with User name ‘root.’
I have XAMPP installed on my computer to run MySQL/PHP. I already checked localhost using my web browser to make sure that the ‘greendata’ is listed as a database; yet, it is not listed from the options when I try to set it up in Dreamweaver.
How can I solve this problem? Please help!
I need to have the 'greendata' database displayed from the list of options under 'select' within the MySQL Connection in Dreamweaver.

Thanks for those tutorials Nancy.
I followed the insturctions and I am still having the same problem.
The database that I create in phpMyAdmin is not being listed as an option within Dreamweaver. The connection is setup but I'm guessing that the problem is within XAMPP?
Why is it that a database that I have created in XAMPP isn't being transfered to Dreamweaver?
I've attached a few screenshoots to give you a better understanding of what I'm looking at. Hope someone can help!

Using a MsAccess database with Dreamweaver CS4?

Hi Everyone,
I have a question concerning using a Microsoft Access Database with Dreamweaver.
First, I was wondering if this was possible. Second, if it is, could someone give me instructions or a link on how to do this. I am pretty new to Dreamweaver, code, etc..., so simpler instructions on how to acheive this would be great.
Here is some information...
1) I am running Windows XP SP2
2) I am using Microsoft Office 2003 (Acces included)
3) I am using Dreamweaver CS4
4) I have installed XAMMP (Apache,MySQL, FileZilla, and PHPmyAdmin, as far as I know)
If anyone needs more information, I'll be hapy to share it as soon as possible.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Musicman1994

The choice of database really depends on which server-side technology you plan to use, and what you're actually planning to use it for.
Access was designed to create databases for small office systems. Although I personally found it very confusing, a lot of people like it and say it's easy to use. However, its major drawback is that it creates very large files; and as soon as the website gets a reasonable amount of traffic, Access has a tendency to freeze or lock up. You can create your database in Access and then export it to another database system, such as Microsoft SQL Server or MySQL. But it's better to start with the database that you ultimately plan using.
I certainly wouldn't recommend developing anything in ASP and then attempting to convert the website to PHP. Although all server-side programs share common features and structures, the code is completely different. So, take some time over choosing your technology first. If you have never developed in ASP, you should be aware that Microsoft stopped developing it about ten years ago. It's still popular and widely available, but ASP is likely to dwindle in usefulness as the years go by. Use PHP or ColdFusion, both of which are supported by Dreamweaver. The other main alternative is ASP.NET, but that's no longer supported by Dreamweaver.

[Help] Regarding database connection!

Hi , i am new to dreamweaver, I have started working on a website, the designing part is completed. I am now trying to connect database through dreamweaver to mysql. As i said I am new to this, I have created four pages, all of which are in .html format. When i try to connect to a database, it needs me o choose from .php or dotnet.
So, here is my question do I need to shift my work to dotnet or php? As i dont know php so i am taking dotnet
2ndly how can I connect to a database? All schemas are defined! Which files do i need to change if i want a registration page to connect to database??
Please Help!

If you want to connect your website to a database, it's advisable to change the filename extension of all pages from .html to the server-side technology of your choice. Before making your choice, you might find the following article helpful: Which server-side technology should I choose?
If you decide on .NET, you should be aware that Dreamweaver has no support for it.
Dreamweaver has extensive support for PHP, but I wouldn't recommend using Dreamweaver's built-in server behaviors to connect to a database. They rely on outdated code, and are not recommended for use in a live website.
If you want to set up Dreamweaver to work with PHP, instructions for doing so are in the following article: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setup_php.html.

MySQL databases and dreamweaver

Please, somebody help me!!
I am on a Mac. I have my site up but can't use it because of
the database issues I am having.
1. I don't write code - hence my purchase of Dreamweaver
2. My host will not allow me to connect to MySQL
(server-side) and suggested I try an SSH. I got Navicat.
It seems I need to connect to the database through
Dreamweaver in order to create my PHP pages. I don't know how to do
it or if it is possible using an SSH (Navicat)
Also I don't understand the whole "test server" thing. It was
suggested I connect my Mac to a Windows machine to create a testing
server. Is this really necessary? I have an external hard drive
with tons of space. Can I use that? Are there any other options? I
don't know a single Mac user who has a spare windows machine lying
around.
My site is ready to go but useless unless I can this
database-access problem solved. I need to create PHP pages but
cannot do it without some sort of access to my database.
Please HELP!!!

See if this helps:

Difference among the Help view,Database view and Maintanance View

hi,
can Anyone pls let me know the Difference among the Help view,Database view and Maintanance View
thanks&regards
rama

The followings are different types of views:
Database View (SE11)
Database views are implement an inner join, that is, only records of the primary table (selected via the join operation) for which the corresponding records of the secondary tables also exist are fetched. Inconsistencies between primary and secondary table could, therefore, lead to a reduced selection set.
In database views, the join conditions can be formulated using equality relationships between any base fields. In the other types of view, they must be taken from existing foreign keys. That is, tables can only be collected in a maintenance or help view if they are linked to one another via foreign keys.
Help View ( SE54)
Help views are used to output additional information when the online help system is called.
When the F4 button is pressed for a screen field, a check is first made on whether a matchcode is defined for this field. If this is not the case, the help view is displayed in which the check table of the field is the primary table. Thus, for each table no more than one help view can be created, that is, a table can only be primary table in at most one help view.

Difference between "Help View" and "Search Help"
Projection View
Projection views are used to suppress or mask certain fields in a table (projection), thus minimizing the number of interfaces. This means that only the data that is actually required is exchanged when the database is accessed.
A projection view can draw upon only one table. Selection conditions cannot be specified for projection views.
Maintenance View ( SE54 )
Maintenance views enable a business-oriented approach to looking at data, while at the same time, making it possible to maintain the data involved. Data from several tables can be summarized in a maintenance view and maintained collectively via this view. That is, the data is entered via the view and then distributed to the underlying tables by the system.
