Hi Edison,

Most 'static' web sites simply use HTML, graphic and javascript/css files. Once you require a database backend such as SQL, you'll need to have SQL installed on your web server too. Your site then becomes 'dynamic' and you'll be able to get information from the database, and then display that information on your pages.

The first step is to talk to your hosting provider. You may already have SQL installed and available (such as MSSQL or MySQL) on your server. Usually, a hosting company using Apache web server will offer some MySQL databases as standard.

You'll then need to know a server-side programming language such as ASP, PHP or any other CGI language to 'talk' to the database. Dreamweaver CS3 does offer SQL support, but depending on how complicated your web application is will determine how much experience you will require for the server-side language.

I hope this helps.

Regards, Rich
