How does a client update a database

Featured Replies

Quick question really:

 

I haven't started really implementing databases yet, but if a client was to update one themselves would they usually do this via logging in via myAdmin or would you create some kind of CMS to control this? Which way is easier for the client?

 

Just wondering, that's all.

Create some kind of CMS and use the mysql UPDATE commands in php allowing them to update there info

Unless you're sure they can be trusted, I'd recommend using a simple CMS and screening all their data before inputting

Really recommend just using a CMS, some clients already need a guide on how to use content management systems let alone you would have to spend time in teaching them phpMyAdmin. funny enough I was called just 20 minuts ago a client deleted a table in the database which he was trusted to edit in since he has some experience.

 

So as of now, everything should go by CMS! :p

What is the simplest CMS that can update databases, or should I create one myself with PHP? So far I only have experience with cushy and pagelime which as far as I know don't edit databases.

Cushy doesnt require a database and neither does Pagelime (Not too sure about the last one)

Which CMS you use is entirely up to you and the functions/features you are looking for. I use Modx as it has alot of functions and is continuesly developed. Wordpress for blogs. and Cushy whenever I work on a small website with a client that already had a non database domain. all 3 of them are free and are just great for projects.

 

Most webdevs would recommend building your own CMS over time but seeing as you don't seem to have alot of experience with them yet, use the opensource ones. building a CMS with all the functions and no leaks is rather hard when your new to the field.
