Database Design and Development
At the heart of almost every complex web application is a database. Databases, such as MySQL, allow for the dynamic manipulation and presentation of data, be it text, images, video, or even other databases! Most of the time databases store and manipulate text residing in the database itself, but sometimes they allow for the manipulation of files living on the server's hard disk. While a programming language such as PHP usually does the manipulations, where the files reside and what kind they are usually reside in a database. Database design and development requires a thoughtful and efficient approach to the long-term goals of the software and ultimately, the end-user. Tera Bear Consulting has designed some whopper databases for our clients over the years and is well-versed in their uses and implementation.
