| Hi, I am looking to set up a relational web database. The databases one find as a buy and set-up (plug and play) programs don't have what I find imperative in what I am looking for; namely: an email system that informs those who put search terms in the database and will be informed once the term(s) is found. The database will be filled in by another group of people. Anyone knowing such program as a plug and play configuration? Or some serious programmer able to set-up such a database at a "decent" price? I appreciate to read yu here or contact me directly at above email address. Thank-you. Cats & dogs :-) |

Most of the big relational databases are a "backend" to a web application. As such, it's commonly the customer's task to implement whatever they need--business logic, information layout, email, etc. Got code? -- DeeDee, don't press that button! DeeDee! NO! Dee... |

No, nothing yet. Start from scratch. Cats & dogs |

Afaik, NO database mails. It's not it's task. Then again, almost no database is filled by a user with direct access. You're not looking for a database with certain qualities, you're looking for a piece of script or application with certain qualities (which my be tied in with a certain type of database, or be able to work with several ones at the users desire. -- Rik Wasmus |

You need an application, and knowing the platform might help locate the application. E.g., if you're running on a Unix platform, you can create a CGI for data entry (such as PHP), then that program can call a freeware Perl script called "sendEmail". (Search web for "perl sendemail") sendEmail might run on Windows, if there's a Windows version of Perl, or there might be a better Windows app. Meow & Bark |

I am >NOT< a programmer. What I need is a relational database. Two groups of users: - one that puts the info in the database (large quantities of info & pics). Another that can search and will be informed by email when search terms will be matched. Many programs on the web do meet the first two conditions. I have seen none meeting the third condition so far. That third condition is imperative in the project(s) I wish to put on air. I was looking on the Net for plug and play programs in which a "sendmail" code could be coupled? Here's a link to a program that should do the job partially(?): http://www.websitedatabases.com/database_tools.html (read the "PHP Magic Plus" arguments) but again I am NOT a programmer nor a specialist, just a marketer whishing to set up the database(s). Someone being able to help set up the concept will be financially rewarded for setting up, running, and maintenance. In fact I need serious people to take the road to growth. So, if someone feels confortable setting up and wish to work out the concept together in a "correct" and "honnest" way, he is welcome to make proposals. Just contact me at my email address collector@collections.net. Thanks. Cats & dogs :-) |

I am >NOT< a programmer. OK. Then let's go step-by-step. First, please answer the question above: are you tied to a specific platform (eg. server OS) and/or language? Next: > What I need is a relational database. Could you please try and explain why you insist on having a relational database? What is it in a database that you're looking for? [You may actually end up with a relational database, but why do you insist on having one?] > Two groups of users: - one that puts the > info in the database (large quantities of info & pics). I assume this may be a web application (a set of web forms) allowing people to log in and enter - perhaps - data of products in a web shop or such. This will require you to have an additional small application to administer your users/admins. At least you want to create users, activate and deactivate them, be able to change critical user data, and be able to supply a new password and/or userID in case they forgot them. > Another that can search and will be informed by email when search terms will be > matched. So, you probably want people to be able to register and obtain a userID and password. Then you want an input form that allows them to log in, and one to enter search phrases. In the input application above, you want a routine/module that searches the entered data for alle stored search phrases, and pass the result to a script that sends out e-mails....unless you don't want those mails to be sent immediately. Perhaps you want to have mails sent once a day. In that case, you'll need a cron job, or a mailing script that you start manually once a day. > Many programs on the web do meet the first two conditions. I > have seen none meeting the third condition so far. That third > condition is imperative in the project(s) I wish to put on air. From your description, I'm not quite sure which the third condition is. > but again I am NOT a programmer nor a specialist, just a marketer > whishing to set up the database(s). There you go again, insisting on having databases. Maybe you end up without any, and still be satisfied with the functionality. > Someone being able to help set up > the concept will be financially rewarded for setting up, running, and > maintenance. In fact I need serious people to take the road to growth. In that case, a good start would be to sign your own name, and not some fancy animals nickname. You'd be taken a lot more seriously. > Cats & dogs :-) See? -- Erick |

I can tell you it ain't going to be shrink-wrap-priced either - well that depends on what you consider shrink-wrapped - some auto-cad type apps go for > $2K... The preferred platform will depend on the hosting company (you, me - I use VAMP -VMS/Apache/MySQL/PHP and LAMP - Linux..., or some third party hosting company). |
