So this semester I am taking a database course using MS SQL server 2000. We are allready getting insufficient education on the topic and the professor expects us build a frontend and everything. My question is, since I am pretty familiar with HTML, my group and I have decided to make a frontend using HTML.... only problem is we dont know how to go about executing this. Does anybody know of a tutorial site of some sort that goes over MS SQL server 2000 w/ HTML frontend? Any help would be greatly appreciated. sincerely,George |

| What does "using HTML" really mean? What technology will you be using to build the HTML on the server? HTML is a client-side language; you're going to need a framework like ASP, PHP, ASP.NET, CGI, ColdFusion, etc, on the server, to actually build the HTML and communicate with the SQL Server. You can't (or at least, really, really shouldn't) use a web browser to directly communicate with SQL Server.---Adam MachanicSQL Server MVPhttp://www.datamanipulation.net |

| Thanks for the input amachanic. So html isnt the way to go huh? Since we havent really been taught to do any frontend we thought we could go with html since the professor said it "could" be done. Out of all the framework you listed which one would be the most easiest to learn within a short period of time? When I mean short period, I mean 2 weeks tops. Thanks again amachanic.George |

| Probably ASP. It's very easy -- it only has 5 objects (Request, Response, Application, Session, Server). Other than that, you just need to learn some VBScript syntax. Very straightfoward. Check out http://www.learnasp.com/learn/index.asp -- some free online lessons. It's pretty simple. Look up ADODB -- that's how you'll access the SQL Server.---Adam MachanicSQL Server MVPhttp://www.datamanipulation.net |
