SQL stands for Structured Query Language. It is a set based language and is
the language that is most commonly used to work with data and data stores.
As such you don't have a SQL database, you have a database where you can use
SQL to edit the structure of a database or add/alter/remove records (and
more).

There are a lot of databases that support using SQL to access the Database.
MS Access (which you mentioned) for example. You have choices when it comes
to databases, here are a few suggestions to look at:

for a windows server
Access
SQL Server
MySQL

for a Linux server
MySQL
postgresql

To use Access or SQL Server on a windows platform from php you may need to
boot up ADO from php. See http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.com.php

Hi there

Normally I work with asp, but I worked with accessdb.  Now I'm looking to 
use PHP, to use PHP I need to create a SQL-database.  I learned to create a 
SQL-database, but that was with the SQLsoftware???  I don't know if 
sqlsoftware is the right name, but my question: If I would like to use PHP, 
how can I make a sqldb on my server (I rent space where PHP is possible)?  
How do I make connection to it?

Could someone help me with some information, thanks.

Regards

Wesley
