MySQL database

[Luke]

Hello

Is it possible, to add stuff to a MySQL database from a visual basic/c# application? (Haven't chose the language yet)?

And is there any easy tutorials for a beginner? I've got loads of MySQL knowledge, and an average ammount of Visual Basic knowledge (through use of excel)


Cheers
Luke

Yes you can. Should you? No. Learn C or something instead of VB.

Fair, I haven't started it yet, i was indecisive whether to use C# or VB. I'll get the C# on the go

Put the C# down and step away.

Go straight to C, then you can move onto C#, C++ easily.

I would recommend sending the data to a PHP script. Storing your database credentials in a reversible application isn't a great idea.

It's a good job I ain't started this yet! :p

That sounds like a logical thing to do..

It's called "Squadron Admin", i'm moving my Air Training Corps squadron to the digital world, so the uniform catalogue, occurance book (book with what activity was done every night), incident book (self explanatory) will all be done digitally, but it's also gonna have all the forms read to print out, and the webmail in a browser control.

Hard to explain; but it'll only be running on the Admin Computer, so it's an application for a minimal audience really..

Couldn't you just use MS Access?
