Applications mostly rely on behind-the-scenes databases to handle content and user data
that fits into logical categories.
For example, say that you wanted to store information of all the employees in a company. With a database
you can group different parts of your business into separate tables to help store your information logically.
Online databases provide you and your clients with web-based, real-time access
from anywhere at any time.
We are database experts
At Mild Lemon we have extensive experience in maintaining
your existing database systems or create and integrate databases seamlessly
with your site using well-established and stable technologies such as Perl, PHP and MySQL.
We program databases as basic as lists of users along with their usernames and passwords or as complex as a
directory of several thousand products in hundreds of categories and subcategories.
We provide secure and user-friendly database interfaces for both the user and the administrator,
so you will be able, to view, add, edit or delete data directly from your web browser.
Database systems
One way to store data on your web server is by using flat files, a relatively simple
database system in which each database is contained in a single table.
In contrast, relational database systems such as SQL can use multiple tables to store information,
and each table can have a different record format.
Relational systems are more suitable
for medium to large applications, but flat databases can be adequate for tiny to small applications.

Database infrastructure
Databases are stored on your web server and accessed through server-sided programs (web applications).
If your website is hosted, all the infrastructure needed to successfully run your database application
such as MySQL, Perl, PHP etc. is most probably already in place
and configured properly, so there is no need for you to purchase additional hard- and software.
Your provider, however, may limit the number of databases you can create within your account, which is perfectly normal.
If for some reason your provider does not offer MySQL database support on its system, Mild Lemon will recommend you providers in your area who do.
In any case, we will verify the compatibility of your infrastructure before we start programming the application.
