Databases are used to easily store and manipulate the data behind a web application. Databases basically store data, which is later retrieved by a script on a web page. A page might grab all customer orders or store a new registered member. We use MySQL databases, which require custom scripting to implement. These databases can store tons of information, and are a necessity for advanced websites and especially eCommerce sites. Databases are interacted with seamlessly in the background, so the user has no access to the sensitive information stored in the secure databases. Custom database programming requires advanced skills and experience in the PHP programming language. Web Design Pro has those skills.
