building a database to connect to osCommerce, where do I start?
Brian D asked:
I am needing to build a database to call from osCommerce, so that I can query the fields etc. I have worked a little with databases such as access through Dreamweaver but do not know much about databases. Where should I start? I know that I should not use access for this as I will eventually need hundreds of thousands of fields. Is there some kind of database builder that is free? If I have VB.NET can I build one with that that can be accessed? In the end what I would like to do is to be able to somehow use SQL somehow through osCommerce to call the fields in the database… Any ideas? Where to start? Thanks and any help is much appreciated.

osCommerce works great with MySQL out of the box… in fact, I think if you went another way, you’d have a lot more work ahead of you.
