Database

I have my website (www.ultimate-top-trumps.co.uk) and I need a datacase for it
due to the fact that it is just so big. I have tried a few things including
Wampserver and they are all either very difficult to understand or there is no
support. Can someone please tell me how or where I can get the information to
go ahead and do this. I am very limited on experience with such things and when
talking about PHP, MYSQL etc really confuses me and puts me off. I don't need
to to know the tecchy stuff just a simple guide, please. I do realise that JS
will be slow but what about ASP, but again I don't want ot be blinded with the
tecchy stuff please.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated, thank you!

Here is the thing. When it comes to the server side languages like PHP and
ASP, as well as the type of database like mySQL or MS SQL, this information
cannot be given to you here. You will need to contact your host about this to
first understand what is available for you to use with your website. They
should also be able to help you out with setting up the databases and they
should also be able to give you the connection information so that DW can
connect to the database.

At that point if there is a specific database application that you are looking
for you will need to come back here and post back with the server-side language
that you can use, as well as the database type that you will be using. And
also you will need to describe what it is that you need this web application to
do.

Thanks SnakE! I will have a natter to my host and what is what.
I was hoping it would be something pretty straight forward without having to go throught the tecchy stuff. Thank you!

It will only be straightforward if you let someone else do it. Designing
database tables and developing the scripts requires a solid background
knowledge and understanding of DB design, security(!) and programming in
general. If terms like normalization, normal forms and data/referencial
integrity for example mean nothing to you, then you really have a long
way to go and should start with some good books.

If you've never done it before, you simply can't build a DB-driven site
in just a few days. Consider weeks or even months for that task.

And then there's still the question what you actually want to do or what
kind of problems you encounter with your current site. Just because it's
getting "big" doesn't necessarily mean that a DB is the right solution.
Sometimes a database can be required for a rather small project, while
in other cases even a big project can be done perfectly well without it.
It always depends on the project and the particular requirements.
