Hi,
Here are a few beginner questions on the same issue, as I am starting on my
first database:
1-what is the most common method of updating a database? (sending query from
web page, login to your database account and do it in your control panel there,
import from somewhere, or other etc...)
2-In relation to question #1, I have been looking around the web to see what
people are doing to get an idea, but I didn't see anything mentioned about
excel and then importing this to mysql. Wouldn't this be much more simpler?
Just prepare something in excel and import to mysql I mean, instead of dealing
with queries?
3-Similarly, to backup the database what is the best way? Is excel a good way,
if not what is?
4-If excel is indeed a good way to update and backup, can anybody refer me to
somewhere for further info? I saw some programs that you buy for this when I
googled it. Or what else is the best approach?
Thanks
Matt
