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?
