well the data is stored in a database and based on the user's
selection(s), the data is served.
Think of a shopping cart. You click that you want to see info
about shirts, the result is that the database serves up a
list of
shirts. Next, you select long-sleeved and the database serves
up a list of long-sleeved shirts which may include pictures
and
other information.

  • ColdFusion f*cked up, database driven websites, is there another way?

    Hi there,
    I downloaded a trial version of ColdFusion from Adobe, and it won't ever let me setup, and it doesn't let me uninstall. It asks for my OS X login password, I typed it in correctly, and it always comes out wrond. Don't ask me if I did type it in wrongly, cus I didn't . I tried logging out and ten back in again. Adobe are probably a con, they don't let you uninstall software off YOUR computer. So, I was wondering, is there another way to make database driven websites on your Mac without using con company software like Adobe? If somebody can sort out the Adobe problem, I would be really appriciate it.
    Thanks!

    Ok, first of all you need to understand this entire process from installing the server apps, to writing the code, to laying out the page isnt going to be a simple drag and drop, point and click, upload and go process. Its going to be ALOT more involved than that on any operating system and in any development environment. I dont ever want to discourage, but im going to let you know right now if you have this attitude of "it didnt work in the first 10 minutes" you aint gonna end up creating anything. Period.
    That said, you need to consider where youre going to run this site. Are you going to run it off your home computer? Ok, then youll need a static ip address to bind to your domain name and at the leat a always on broadband connection - preferably a business account if you want to avoid being haslted by your ISP. If youre going to host the site somewhere then you need to lok at what type of server its going to run n and what technlogies are going to be available on that server. The most common are ASP/ASP.Net and PHP4.In combonation with MSSQL, MySQL or Postgre. You cant really run ASP on your mac since its an MS only thing (ALthough ther eis a Java server that will run ASP available from Sun Microsystems). So now youre left with PHP out of those two. Ofcourse, you can find hosts offering hosted Coldfusion and Ruby on Rails. However rails can be tricky to get working on a mac properly so id say youll probably jsut want to stick with PHP. Id reccommend php4 as opposed to php5 since most hosts arent yet offering php5(this is changing daily but for the time being in a learning environment jsut use 4).
    As for MySQL, agian you need to use in your environment the one youre using on your host. So stick with verion 4.x.x as thats what most hosts currently run... Mine still runs 3.x.x although tats set to change to 4.x.x by the end of the year.
    One thing youll learn in web development is that people dont always use the most recent generally available rleas of a product, particularily where opensource stuff is concerned.

  • DATABASE DRIVEN WEBSITE

    Hello folks,
    I want to create a website , not super classy but simple one . I want to have the website connected to a oracle database where all the details of products will be stored. Not much into details just enough. Then connect the website with the database so that we can add,delete,update things from the website . Website be a front end and oracle database a back end.
    This is for my project . I have created static web pages with pagebreeze. I have downloaded the oracle 10g thing on my system. I think i can create a database in that . But now how to link both things and how to go from here to get a database driven website ?
    Please help me i am stuck.

    I created some simple web pages to display/update details on an oracle database. I used apache web server, and php for the pages. In php it is simple to access an oracle database using oci_connect, oci_parse, oci_execute, etc.

  • Can Adobe Muse be used to create database driven websites?

    Can Adobe Muse be used to create database driven websites, or is it only through "replace image through browse from your computer".

    Hi Edgard,
    I am afraid that this is not possible in Muse at this stage, I will recommend that you post this on our ideas section over here, Ideas for features in Adobe Muse, and let our devs team know of this requirement.
    In muse you can only design static content. For any dynamic content that you need to render via DB, you will need to write custom code and insert it in Muse via 'object -> insert html' option or 'properties -> metadata -> html for head' option.

  • Can anyone help with database driven design

    Hi,
    I would like to determine the best way to serve large amounts
    of text on an html page. I have manuals with lots of links that I
    want to add to a website. I would like to employ database driven
    web development in my design, would this be a good use for it? If
    so would you suggest php and what database?
    Thanks!
    Please forgive me for double posting, I posted this in the
    general forum but maybe should have done it here first?

    I would say it totally depends on the format that the manuals
    are in. If they're HTML than you can store them as BLOB's in mysql
    and you're life will be rather easy. You would need to parse the
    blob output for URLs but that's about it.
    However, if the manuals are in PDF than a database wouldn't
    help with the storage of the actual files, however you can use
    either XML or a DB (i.e. mysql) to store the metadata about that
    manual so that you can at least make the site searchable.
    A little more information about your data/website would
    probably be helpful.

  • Database at website

    Please excuse my ignorance as I stumble thru my question.
    I would like to have a website, via Mobile Me or otherwise, that is similar to ones you see at newspapers - where there are selection boxes for users to choose what they want to see (one, several or all) of a category, and then the results can be sorted.
    I have the data in a database... I'm just not sure what I do from there.
    I looked at many calendar driven applications, but they do not seem to give me the flexibility I need for allowing my viewers to choose what they see.
    If someone can just give me a push in the direction of what it is that I'm looking for, I'll be off and running...
    Thank you -

    Hi Marion,
    MobileMe does not support server side scripting or databases by users.
    I have a work around to show the HTML published database with an iFrame if your database app. has instant web publishing capabilities. But that may not be what you are looking for as there will be a 'log-in to database(server)' screen first.
    If you are looking for a database driven content management platform then you may want to check out [Drupal|http://drupal.org>, it works with MySQL databases and PHP.
    On their website you can find plenty of hosts for your Drupal website.
    With PHP or MySQL over ODBC you can even connect to your database.
    Check out [DynDNS|http://www.dyndns.com> if you want to use your own Mac as a web/database server behind a consumer router with variable IP nr.
    Kind regards,
    Leo

  • SEO with PHP/Database driven sites

    I know this is the wrong place for this question but I wanted the opinion of this forum.
    My company is in the planning stages of building a new site. It's currently PHP/Database driven but for the amount of products we have in our lineup, it's not really necessary. I'm heading up the SEO for the new site and have been looking into it the past few weeks.
    From what I've read here and there, PHP isn't too search engine friendly. There aren't any recent articles online that I can find on the subject so I would like to know your opinion. The new site can be created just as well with HTML/CSS and we plan to go crazy with SEO. From what you guys know about SEO, would you recommend staying with PHP or moving over to HTML?
    Thanks in advance...

    No, there is no difference. The only thing to ensure is that your 'meta' description is also individualised for each item/page and that any images contain a title attribute  individual to the image and not the generic "product image" title, (or similar) that many include.
    This is what I've learned. I'm excited to begin the whole process. We have many websites that need to be re-done so we're trying to work out good plan before doing so. Designing for mobile came up after the first site was completed and I didn't have too much time to get into that, as you saw a few weeks back. Right now the page is only really built for Blackberry and once I was going to get into learning the media queries for the next two, I was put onto SEO.
    We're a bbq company with a tonne of brands and things haven't been touched in years. Not a single person here knows anything about any of the websites. When I was hired a few months ago I was just thrown into the mix. As I'm sure you can imagine, things can get frustrating.
    EDIT--
    This is BOSS DJ. I made another account for work and for some reason they've switched them up. I signed in with Krumf and they gave me BOSS even though it said Welcome, Krumf up top. This window has been open ever since I signed in

  • Use dropdownlist to select image (database driven)

    Im building a web application in flash builder which will be database driven. The database will contain id (of product), name (of product), photofile (text string i.e photo1.jpg). i have the data/services up and running, i just need to get it so when the user selects a name from the dropdownlist the corresponding photofile is selected into the picture frame.
    I know to turn the photofile text into a picture it will be something like this but not sure what code to insert into the <s:Image tag;
    private function getPhotoURL(item:Object):String{
                                    return "http://............./assets/"+item.photofile;

  • What kind of database the SSMA uses to store metadata in the file named "source-metabase.mb" ?

    What kind of database the SSMA uses to store metadata in the file named "source-metabase.mb" ?
    I'm looking for the method to open the file and add 'cutom migration script' (some automatization).

    Hi Poman.Pokrovskij,
    When you generate SSMA Assessment Report, there are several files created and saved into Report folder under your SSMA project folder. It includes
    source-metabase.mb, project-container.mappings, preferences.prefs, and so on.
    . MD files are usually saved in plain text format including inline text symbols, defining how a text is formatted such as the indentations, its table formatting, fonts, and headers.
    SSMA provides a project setting that allow you to customize how to set customized database migration. For example, to customize data migration SQL statement, you can modify project setting by navigating to Tools and choosing Project Settings,
    then looking for the setting for
    Extended Data Migration Options and change the value to
    Show. You can select use custom select and modify the SQL statement.
    For more information about SSMA for Oracle, you can review the following articles.How To Perform Incremental Data Migration Using SSMA:

  • What the **** happened to my website?

    What the **** happened to my website?

    First, get the domain file that is in the HD/Users/Home/Library/Applications Support/iWeb folder on the old hard drive and copy it to the same locatilons on the new hard drive.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
    To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • What are the database resources when collecting stats using dbms_stats

    Hello,
    We have tables that contain stale stats and would want to collect stats using dbms_stats with estiamte of 30%. What are the database resources that would be consummed when dbms_stats is used on a table? Also, would the table be locked during dbms_stats? Thank you.

    1) I'm not sure what resources you're talking about. Obviously, gathering statistics requires I/O since you've got to read lots of data from the table. It requires CPU particularly if you are gathering histograms. It requires RAM to the extent that you'll be doing sorts in PGA and to the extent that you'll be putting blocks in the buffer cache (and thus causing other blocks to age out), etc. Depending on whether you immediately invalidate query plans, you may force other sessions to start doing a lot more hard parsing as well.
    2) You cannot do DDL on a table while you are gathering statistics, but you can do DML. You would generally not want to gather statistics while an application is active.

  • What kind of database driver should use for database adapter  in BPEL?

    what kind of database driver (XA or non-XA) should use for database adapter in BPEL? I have only one database adapter and no JMS.
    Thanks
    Jo
    Edited by: 799095 on Sep 30, 2010 8:35 AM

    Hi
    It depends on wheter you need XA transaction or not.
    See http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=21385 third reply.
    If you only have one database and no synchronous dependency to the caller, non-XA should be OK.

  • So what is the Database setting in Preference for?

    In the years of using Safari, in the Preferences it has settings for Database under Security tab. I've left it at the default 5mb. Whenever I clicked Show Database nothing was ever in there. But yesterday there were two items. I Removed them not paying any attention really. Then today another appeared named ourstage.com.
    I've never been to that site or heard of it. So I went to it. Nope nothing I've ever been to.
    So what is this database setting? Should I leave it active? What benefit does it do for Safari or me as a surfer?
    Thanks
