Hello everyone,

First time poster here. I'm a information systems major trying to make a database for my fraternity to maintain grades, classes, and house points etc. However, thinking back on my education, never have we been taught how to set up a server to host the database (or creating a local database existing on a single computer.

This may be a dumb question, but it shows that educators in this field need to rethink the curriculum. But yes, My question is: How do you set up an operating server (or set up locally) for a database to be modified by MySQL or SQLdeveloper?

If you plan on using MySql, then you should probably ask your question on a site that deals with MySql. SQLTeam.com is specifically for Microsoft SQL Server.

Do you have programming experience?

Damn..I was hoping for a Sorority Database

Why not look at using SQL Server Express...

http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/editions/express.aspx

Or why not just use MS Access

Ask yourself...who is the audience..how many users...will you need to expose it to the internet..what will they use the db for...will it get me chicks?

You have to prioritize
