To use a database with a Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP) application, you need to create a database connection in Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004. This chapter describes how to create the database connection.
Note: If you're developing ASP.NET applications, see Database Connections for ASP.NET Developers.
The chapter assumes you have set up an ASP application (see Setting Up a Web Application). It also assumes a database is set up on your local computer or on a system to which you have network or FTP access.
This chapter contains the following sections:
To connect to the sample database provided by Dreamweaver, see "Setup for Sample ASP Site" in Getting Started Help. To learn more about databases and database connections, see Beginner's Guide to Databases.
