Chapter 10 - Database Management

Since this project is very information based, databases will be extremely import for storing and recalling data. First of all, the databases will be stored on the same server as the site content, and will be tied directly to the site. The way that the information is sorted on the databases will be very important.

I assume that the databases would contain specific fields of data. These fields would be: Artist, Albums, Release Dates, Performance dates, and related artists. These categories would have to be very dynamic, and connect to other information in the database. The primary key would most likely be Artist.

I think that it would also be very useful for users to be able to add to the database. For example, if there is a more local artist that a user would like to see on the site, they could input the information themselves. The information could then be appended to the database in the proper form.
