Chapter 8. Accessing Databases

Storing and accessing data.

Storing and accessing data in a database is an important part of programming. This is something which is often used in web and other developments.

When developing an application, whether it is a web application, a desktop application, or even a mobile application, we are dealing with a lot of data. Indeed, that's mostly why applications are around—dealing with data.

Using databases can help to make it easier to deal with data. They may help store and retrieve data, and moreover, they can help filter the data you are going to retrieve.
