I have build a database in college in SQL. However, building one now is a whole new story. I have MySQL on my web host along with PHP. However, to build my database I still have to do it offline in Windows. I have created an environment for the Wampserver/ Apache
along with php, MySQL. I just got logged into SQL after figuring out I didn't need a password. I follow these directions of the Internet and here he is talking about a password back in step so and so .... hmmm I don't remember doing that. I have to go to their forum... find the word null... AhAh  .. hit enter and presto mysql>
I guest I build a simple joke database. I will be looking for my college notes as I know the basics of relational databases are the same.
I have a B.S. in Computer Science but no relevant experience except in
the late 80's - 91.
I know that I will be getting the either book or ebook ($30) from this person. He seems to explain in terms that newbie can understand. It would be worth it. It cost somewhere me around $2000.00 to have someone build it.
Anyone else trying this on their own with very little experience? How did it go?

I use AppServe, very easy to set up PHP/MySQL/Apache/phpMyAdmin. I've put together dozens of sites, and if you keep the databases rather simple they aren't too difficult to work with. The simpler you keep your database, the easier it is to create the PHP queries to insert/edit/delete the database information, and obviously the simpler you get with your user interaction, the simpler the PHP becomes.
Are you building a site from scratch? Databases can be looked at somewhat like HTML tables, i.e., tables/rows/cells, so that may help you picture where you are going with it.

My websites are built in HTML using php include. They are credit cards and services related. I know about the columns and rows and primary key or id. The people I affiliated with have rumors going around that everything will have to be in XML feed. I know you need a database for the feed. I am not sure how it is done. No one has taken the time to help me. They send me stuff that makes no sense and leaves out links... like to the feed.
The alternative is javascript which can't be seen by the search engines. I know I had my whole site converted thinking this would be easier. I did not realize every part menus, text ... was in javascript and it killed my site's ranking. I would have to come up with a lot of content. I rather focus on the database which can run feeds of content. This make much more sense. That affiliate person says javascript is better. For who? Not for me.
However, since I have the code from a template builder for the credit cards, it should give me help with setting up the tables. I will have to design on paper .. a flowchart.. see if I can remember to think like a programmer. I will try to keep my databases as simple as possible.
MySQL is like terminal (DOS) command. My whole databases have to be built by typing in. That will not be easy. I guess what I need is just a demo version that works then have all the rest put into MySQL at my Host server. This is definitely a learning experience. Or does the PHP have something to do with the database? 
Thanks for you reply.

Don't be afraid of the database, especially if you don't need it to be terribly complex. Relational databases are easy like you say they are all basically the same just the implementation is different for different softwares. I thought mySQL was free? And yes DEFINITELY chart the damn thing out. It's been a while but I enjoyed the database class I had.
I like this for flowcharts and diagrams, it's simple and works well. I did have some gane&sarson (think those were symbols we used, maybe that was programming though) symbols I made for it.
