Yeah, I'm not a "programmer" but more of a designer making the transition. I was using DW MX to just do simple insert, delete, update pages and it was very easy to do it but when I deployed it on our web server whenever I presented information from a database it would bring down our web server. Not a good idea when you have 100 other clients with sites on that server!
We have a full time java programmer here but just looking for a quicker way to do those database updates and stuff.
