I have very little experience with web programming but am interested in making a database website. I am very good at creating databases with Access but am working on a mac. What program should I begin learning to use for making a database that would work well online? Also what program would you suggest using with the database to begin the web design?

Thank you,
Chase

What program should I begin learning to use for making a database that would work well online?

Many online databases make use of some form of SQL, very often MySQL. You can learn more about that here: MySQL :: The world's most popular open source database (http://www.mysql.com/)

As for accessing MySQL, I'm a fan of PHP. You can find out more about using PHP to access MySQL here: PHP: MySQL - Manual (http://www.php.net/mysql)

Good luck!

I would agree that My SQL is probably the best choice for your back end. Next best would be SQL Server.

I think Cold Fusion or just programming in ASP or PHP as the front end.

Are you? Are all your databases normalized to at least 3NF?
