Updating database from an application!

[flaxworx]

I have been asked to create a room management system for a bed and breakfast, I am thinking of implementing it in JAVA, but before I start I need to know if I will be able to update the database for their website from the management system or will I have to implement it in PHP so it can access the database.
Cheers

If that is not what you had in mind then yes you'll have to impliment your own method.

I didn't see him say the people he was doing this for is using Powweb.

CheersNo Java server side support at Powweb's, it's in the FAQ.

So if I can't access the database directly from an application and use it as an offsite database is it feasable and/or acceptable by powweb for me to write a PHP interface(middle layer) between the JAVA application and the MYSQL database which will access and execute the sql queries and statements sent to it from the JAVA application.

What may get you in trouble though with such a project, could be the network traffic that your website gets from the external Java application. There are some usage limitation imposed, like the number of hits to the site, the number of hourly database connects and the number of database queries per hour. For details check the Terms Of Service: http://powweb.com/PowWeb/Company/Policy/TOS.

IMO it makes not much sense to host only a database at Powweb. And it makes less sense to use Powweb for MySql database serving, as you need this application interface, while with proper choice of hosting, the Java application can directly connect to the database and run with full control, including correct transaction handling.

If it's your mandatory requirement for server side Java support, then you should be looking for hosting services that offer this in combination with database services, this may be MySql in the low end market, and likely Oracle for the high end. There is a large Java community out on the web that will be using that combination (I haven't been following the developments in that market segment).
