Database web development

With the many database systems available we have opted for one that is
free, and will run on the Windows® and Linux® platforms. PostgreSQL®
provides an excellent repository for website content. It fits in well
with PHP and uses stored procedures to provide that extra level of
security to the information held in the product catalog database.

For eCommerce web applications a relational
database system is an essential requirment for holding the
catalogue information, which will need to be constantly updated as
products are sold, and to store the shopping cart details entered by
your customers.

Internet security has greatly improved over recent years and customers
now feel a lot safer using credit cards over the internet. Our approach
to online shopping is to use the fully-accredited PayPal to handle
credit card security and payment and PostgreSQL database management
system to handle the site content and shopping cart catalogue.
