Do you have an interface to view your DB?
I've got querry browser and workbench,

@seun, thanks alot i'll try that website.

Sql server 2008 express edition is free to download. Search google or go to Microsoft website.

@IBEXY,thanx alot, it seems MS-Access db is nt gud for web applications,what do u think abt dat

Never heard of access being used for web based application. I only know of either MySql, Oracle or Sql Server. I thought access is suited only for small ofline applications. I could be wrong. You should be ok with MS Sql Server. You can also get MySQL free.

@IBEXY,thanx alot,i tot as much but the WAMP server type am usn is an EASYPHP php engine and its bundled with a mySQL db,am stil tryn to get to the root of it nd it cud be used to test web apps just like the WAMP servers.i hope to gv u a contact in d nearest future if i have an extensiv project. Tanx

EASYPHP should install phpmyadmin which should allow you access mysql easily.

@ibexy very well,am getting it,but if i av to use java servlet or JSPs then i'll have to download the mySQL db,nd install it. Bt the easyphp is working perfectly.it also have d phpmyadmin gui for d administratn of d mysql db.
Tnx 4ur help
