Hi,
Can I ask some advice in regards database solutions and content management
solutions.? Do you have a philosophy on what is the best for databases -
ASP, JSP, Cold fusion, PHP, etc. My company website site is going to be
rebuilt and I am the lucky one to do this but I am unsure of the needs and
complexity of the project, and what would be the best base code. Do you
have any thoughts in this area? The site requires functionality like display
projects, archive projects, sort projects by date, project location, group
company, etc. All images and pdfs are currently uploaded through the
content management solution, however we will have to implement a new content
management solution as well. Do you know of an easy to use product that
functionally work well in content management? Do you know of any products
on the market that are like WYSIWYG database solutions?
Thanks!
P.S.: I've tried to best guess which newsgroups apply. Apologies if I've
gotten it wrong - if you know of any other appropriate newsgroups, please
let me know.

If you want to continually have to take your site down to apply the
latest MS patch, then consider ASP or .NET. I would never bet my
business on it!!! The TOC can be way too high if your site is the
"bread and butter" of the company... YMMV..
My prefs -- in this order:
Apache/PHP/OracleRdb on OpenVMS -- just try and hack it.. and with real
clusters - not those fake ones by M$ and all of the unix deriviatives...
hmmmm... 20 years and counting - and noone has yet to come close to the
capabilities of an OpenVMS cluster. Period!!!!
Apache/cgi/Oracle on OpenVMS
OSU/cgi/OracleRdb or Oracle9
Apache/PHP/Oracle on Unix or Linux.
.... 25 bazillion other choices
IIS/.NET-.ASP/SQL Server if I really had to...
Yeah M$ works, but too many companies have been crippled when their
server gets hacked by the latest script-kiddie.

There are tools that work well for small projects and fall apart as
the project grows. There are also complicated tools that will have
you scratching your head for months to write HelloWorld.
Like shoes for a small child, you have to choose ones slightly too big
and grow into them.
Tools strictly for small projects include PHP, MySQL.
Tools strictly for large projects include EJB and Oracle.
In the middle are tools like JSP and JSF.
If your project is going to have to last for a decade, you want to
pick generic tools with many implementations like Servlets. If you use
something very proprietary like Delphi, FreeMarker or Flash, you may
have an easy time getting started, but you are at the mercy of that
team to keep the project going. For big companies, open source is a
nice cushion. If the team fails, you could potentially take it over
yourself. Even for small companies, open source leave the option of
someone else taking over an abandoned project.
You could scan the web to see who is doing stuff similar to what you
are doing, and ask them what they used and what they would do if they
had it to do over again. Ask them what they like most and least about
their approach. See what applies most to you.
You might even approach a magazine to turn your survey into an article
and to give some incentive for the users to talk.
see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/magazine.html
One thing I learned is every tool has its areas it drives you nuts.
When you look for a new tool, you look primarily for one that fixes
the mistakes of your old tool. You forget the new tool may fall down
in areas your old one was fine. Pay attention to what people complain
about. That is what will bother you too.

Sure. None of the above. None are databases, so none are relevant to
programming a database.

The comp.infosystem s heirarchy has a few options you missed.
And for the record, no responsible programmer ever asks "I have a
project to do, what language should I code it in?" Nor would they
mistake a front end client application for a database. Buy a canned
product or hire an outside service.

and to top it all off - real programmers, dba's and sys admins can't get

Yup, it seems everybody is looking for people to fill 'junior' posts.
As a freelancer I charge far more to sort out the mess left by someone
else than I would to build a system from scratch.

PHP CMSes are a dime a dozen, so I would recommend looking into that. Go to www.sourceforge.net and do a search on "CMS". Most support different DB
software so you can choose which to use depending on your needs.
MS SQLServer is probably as close to "WYSIWYG" as you get can. In Enterprise
Manager you can create queries by joining tables via a drag-and-drop
interface. Database constraints can be created in the same manner. There are
wizards to guide you through tasks like backup and restore. My favorite
feature is the diagram tool, which allows you to quickly generate impressive
looking database diagrams that would awe your manager (but is otherwise
completely useless). Rather pricey compared to open source databases, but
beats hiring a DBA. Highly recommended.
Hosting on Windows is of course not an ideal solution from a security point
of view. It's reasonably safe though if you protect it with an industrial
strength firewall cum intrusion detection system. Set you back a few grands
but cheaper than hiring a Unix admin. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

For the past few months I have been working on an open source
Apache/PHP/MySQL content management system - and have recently made it
available for download.
It's still very much a work in progress (current release version is
0.4.6), but you should get a very good idea of what it's about by
visiting the site (which uses it, funnily enough), or downloading a
