Im a little new to webdesign and I just bought a webhost. I have an SQL Data base not really sure how to use it. If other programs create the webpages what do Data bases do?

store data in

thats pretty much it. You can use them for storing things like member and their passwords, details etc or just general information. You can use webpages to get information from the database. for example you could have a login form that would compare the users input with the information in the database. Then perhaps re-directs to the users details or profile, then it could select from the database that users details.

Mysql database allows you to run many script often it is needed by script by forums....


good choice on choosing a database host :)
