    I have 3 questions that i need answered to get the big picture on normal, usual way SQL works with websites. 
     
    1.  What is the normal, usual language such as ASP, PHP, HTML, JAVA... for connecting and displaying SQL information on websites?
     
    2.  I need a template, book, or illustration on a demostrating how to get SQL data working with the normal programing language, and i dont want to use MySQL? 
     
    3.  Basically, is there an example or template for a existing website, lets say a shipping company, that links to a SQL database?  If there is a website template, i want to download it and go through it to get the big picture on how SQL works the normal, usual language.

    I believe that there is no "normal, usual language" for connecting to databases.  Almost all web develpment should have the capability to handle it.  Do you have an environment that you are working in?  Do you have a database yet?  Is this a work related issue or are you trying to learn something on your own time?

    For us the "normal, usual" method of accessing our MS SQL Server databases is through plain old Active Server Pages.  But I'll tell you right now, what each company/person uses is going to be what they used last time and therefore are comfortable with.

    Our "normal" method for our web pages is .ASP. There are many resources to learn how to use .asp including http://www.asp.net. If you want to see how others build their websites open a website that is attached to a database and click on view source.

    Dave, that won't really work.  You'll see the resultant HTML that the ASP or PHP or whatever generated, but you won't see the actual code behind it (unless something is really broken!)
