Database Management:
For our app we will need to pull the information which we gather through facebook connect onto a database. This involves having our ftp server (the one that hosts our domain name) serve as a database. With many users, this would become very complicated, so facebook suggests you use MySQL to manage a database.
MySQL “Structured Query Language” runs as a server and provides multi-user access to a number of databases. It’s source code is available and it is often used in free software projects. It is also used in high-scale WWW projects like Facebook and wikipedia.
