I do web design and many clients have asked if I do database work. I'm tired of referring them to other people but I have no idea where to start in databases. There is nothing specific I am trying to do at this time, but I would appreciate if someone could show me where a good place to start would be. Thank you.

Thanks, I appreciate the response. I am kind of curious as to what the difference between each of those are though. But in the meantime I'll do as you said and read up on DBMS. Thank you again.

A database is like a card file. You have something up the top, sorted in that order, and then all the details from there. Just go into Office, Access, and have a look at a sample file. if you haven't got office, you can download free databases from people like www.cnet.com
Kind regards,

Step 1: Learn all you can about database design. Read up on Normalizing tables, one to many relationships, etc. Because table design is the most important part of a database. Everything else is just gravy.

Step 2: Create a database. I really started rolling when I created a database for my friend's business.
