MenuWhat is a good starter database software for a small business?
I am on a very tight budget and would prefer a one off payment, and not be tied to subscription services
Answers
Linux + MariaDB (Fast MySQL).
Enterprise level throughput + scalability.
Cost == $0.
Well, cost included with whatever hosting you're using.
I run a private hosting company. Some of my machines are running 250,000+ uniques/hour + have been for months.
MariaDB can handle whatever load you throw at it...
Well... so long as your coders know how to write high speed code.
Most coders are clueless about this.
Tip: Pay for expensive developers up front + you'll save huge amounts of money avoiding rewrites.
We are just migrating from Insightly to Agilecrm.com. Take a look - it's fully featured and very good value. We are using it to replace Mailchimp and Campaign Monitor and FeedBlitz for some of our clients.
This is CRM database software - so may not suit your needs. But it's subscription; BUT it's low cost subscription.

What is the easiest way to store log-in and customer information obtained from our company website?
Well you should store it in a database, most probably an SQL based database. MySQL is a fine start, free and easy to set up. But, you had best start thinking about security issues, especially if you are planning on storing credit card and other personal information. Hackers go right through the standard fare and many companies do nothing to encrypt their data at all, which in some countries is a criminal offense. Best hire a professional to look at your system setup and see what can be done.Stanislov KrapivnikSK

I am looking for SQL Database training materials and recommendations?
Tip: You'll only do this if you're a Thrillseeker looking to loose massive revenue. You'll never, ever, ever turn over design of any business critical system to anyone in the class of "junior anything" who requires "SQL courses". You'll have an experienced designer handle your SQL design.David FavorDF

What is the easiest way to implement a membership system technology wise for my social networking company?
You can work upon one of the many tools that exist for this exact purpose: 1. You can use aMember to create a standalone membership website. 2. You can setup a Wordpress website and install a plugin like "MemberPress", "Paid Memberships Pro" or a combination of plugins like "Woocommerce + Groups + Subscriptions". It all depends of what sort of interaction you want for your customers. Take a look at those options and see if any of them match what you are looking for. Of course you can create something from scratch but that takes time and usually a lot more money. Make sure what you need doesn't already exist before venturing into a fully custom job. Best of luck!
