I bought "Hetzer" server so I can create my own database and practice a little bit. My server is using Ubuntu. I plan to also create a script (probably in node or asp) so my android application can communicate with database.
How to start with creating database, what to do?
Firstly https://www.hetzner.com/ is one of the best professional web hosting providers. In order to set up your Mysql server to your ubuntu machine. Install lamp stack. There are many tutorials about installing lamp. Then open your DB for remote connection or do kind of restful service to access your data in DB.

My company has two web based project. Our main project (Starbooks) was built using xampp server and Codeigniter framework that installed in our Windows OS and the second project (Frontlearners) was built in Lamp server and moodle (LMS) framework with Postgres database that installed in ubuntu platform.
My goal is to collide this two projects into one by moving the second project (Frontlearners) into the main project (Starbooks) server which uses with xampp server windows platform.
My first attempt is to export the moodle Postgres database using PGAdmin then move the moodle project to the main project server on windows. But I don't know if this is the correct way or not because Postgres and mysql are different database type. I've searching across the internet hoping for the answer or tutorial related to my problem but the results are always fresh installation of moodle which is not related to my problem.
Anybody knows how to solve this problem, a tutorial link, or any article about this situation?
There is a database transfer tool in Moodle.
https://docs.moodle.org/311/en/Database_transfer
So you can convert the PostgreSQL database to MariaDB
First ensure MariaDB is installed on Ubuntu
Turn off cron and put the site in maintenance mode
Then go to Site administration > Development > Experimental > Database migration to convert the database.
Or direct to /admin/tool/dbtransfer/index.php
The tool will check the database structure matches the structures in the install.xml files. If there are any differences, then you will need to update the relevant install.xml file or database table before continuing.
If its a large database, then the UI will probably time out. So use the command line version instead:
php admin/tool/dbtransfer/cli/migrate.php --help
Having said all that, IMHO I would transfer the Windows project to Linux.
I need to use standard mysql, in plesk it says everywhere that it is mysql but when I login to console it says mariadb.
I understand that it is very similar but this plesk will be hosting staging systems so they must use exactly the technology that the product servers use.
Is it possible to do it somehow using the web interface or do I have to manually install it from console?
As I see it's impossible because plesk-mysql-server package has explicit dependency for mariadb-server.
Yes, you can solve this with --force, but it means further troubles with plesk updates and upgrades.
If you need DB server for some application you can install it on separate server and register it as remote DB server in Tool&Settings > Database Servers.
I'm afraid I have been stuck on this one for a couple days now.
I've worked with databases before (normally using php and a mysql server) but I'm new to visual studio and I just can't seem to find much info on what kind of server you need to connect to (and how).
I guess the first part of my question would be: Can the server running the database be a remotely hosted "online" mysql server or does it have to be installed on your machine (for example like you can install apache)?
The easiest option for me would probably be to connect to my existing mysql server of my online website, but how?
I have sql server management studio installed but am not sure what to enter as the server name etc in the dialog box that shows up.
I do know my mysql server details and all, but just have no idea how where and how or even if I can connect it directly to my visual studio project.
I have looked several times on google but till now I have only been able to find videos and tutorials showing how to create a new database - which assume you are already connected to some sort of server.
Also, if you do use a locally hosted database server then wouldn't you have to port it to a different (online) database once the website goes live?
Thank you for your time!
Yes, the database can be remotely hosted, I'have this working on my local machine with a remote MsSql database. Make sure the remote database server accepts connections from your IP.
I'm pretty sure the MsSql Server Management Studio is only for MsSql, not MySql. The server name in my case is the IP for the remote MsSql database server, further you need the login and password for your database. But if you use your remote MySql, you don't need this tool.
I have no experience with MySql, but it must be possible to use the database in your Visual Studio project with the correct "connectionstring". The connectionstring contains the type of the database, where it is located, login and pasword, etc. You can find the syntax of you connectionstring here: www.connectionstrings.com/mysql/
I am trying to design a database application for my small business. I've created a number of form driven MS Access databases for use before but would like to create a permanent solution in something more advanced & common.
I was thinking of using mySQL for the database and would then program a C# or VB application to be used in Windows. I do not want or need a web based version at this time but the migration to VB.net in the far future may be something I'll look into.
I know I can use a MS Access backend for my windows application without having to install MS Office on any or all the computers the program will be run for.
But here is my question. Is it necessary to install mySQL Server on the PC hosting the database, on all the PCs accessing the database or can I just use the database file as the backend and Visual Studio will have all the necessary tools I need to access it?
If I have to install the server I may just stick with the MS Access database as the needs for an excessive amount of database storage won't ever be an issue.
You'd need to install MySQL server on the Server hosting the database. The clients would then connect via the network. You will however need a driver to access the MySQL-Server with VB.NET on the client machines. A simple DLL-File might be enough, though.
If you are looking for a file-based database solution have a look at SQLite. But you will have to watch out for concurrency issues here.
I am connection to a LAMP Server trough PuTTY.
I have no idea if there is a GUI available so I'm doing this trough the CLI. The problem now is that I need certain fields from the database and I have no idea how the database looks since the lack of documentation.
How should I approach this. In the database there are 148 tables. Should I just go trough every table one at a time? Is there a smart way?
Thanks.
You could always install PHPMyAdmin, but if you don't have access to do so, you can try MySQL Workbench. This installs on your computer, and you just put in your server info and connect
There's plenty of GUI tools available for MySQL, some that you normally install on the server and others that you run on your desktop, here's a short list:
MySQL Workbench - Official mysql gui tool with really nice features (especially coming to db design)
PHPMyAdmin - web based interface, can be installed on the server and reached through a web interface.
HeidiSQL (free, windows) - desktop app
SQLYog (lot's of features, costs money) - desktop app
Sequel Pro (free, slim and good for macosx) - desktop app
You can also use the mysql-query browser for connect database.
