I want to build a web application like StackOverflow, and I don't know SO use single or multiple databases.
SO has 2 main applications: Asking application and Chat application
Chat application uses SO account to login and display user's information in the chat room.
So I have some solutions:
Use 3 databases: one for common information, one for asking system and one for chatting system.
Use 2 databases: one for asking system (including common information) and one for chatting system.
Use only one database for both system.
Any body can help me? Thanks!

You have to ask yourself why you would need to use multiple databases. Why would you need to seperate data?
You seperate out databases when there is a business need: example - they cant be combined because they are both extremely large and they are completely different applications. By separating them out IMHO you are simply making more work for yourself.

This question is a little more generic, a brainstorm one. I'm about to develop a small website, and I still don't know if it’s better for me to store my “Text” (to fill Labels, Messages, etc) data on the Database or just on the frontend.
I know that for a fact, consulting the BackEnd Database is slower than just searching a specific file, but it’s also better to update the list later-on (when the website is developed) by just running a script.
I want to know some opinions, experiences, advantages and disadvantages about both.
Edit: For the technologies, i was thinking in using ExtJS with a Java Backend, I'm not quite sure about the BD yet.
Consider what data you are storing and the purpose of your website.
Advantages of front end storage: quicker
Advantages of database storage: more secure/structured
If your strings are sensitive then I would secure them in your database. Any client information, including "Text" data should be stored on the back end. If the strings are only relevant to you as the site owner then I don't see a problem with storing them on the front end.
Also perhaps specify which technologies you are using to build this site to get more specific responses.

So question is do we need backend framework e.g. Laverel etc. if we user Angular\React? Don't undestend why we need cuz i use baclend only for REST API, I can not understand why they can be useful if we do all job on froendend
The need for server side code is largely independent from the use of client side code.
Many projects require server side and client side code in order to function at all (e.g. if data needs to be shared between users of a site). Even those that don't usually should involve server side code as a best practise.
Given a project where server side code is needed, there is never a need for a framework. A framework is a tool that can (in some circumstances) make the development of code easier, but can always be replaced with from scratch code. A developer should select the most appropriate tool for the job.

I'm currently building a Hybrid mobile app using ionicframework,angularjs and cordova,in my app i will need some data storage such as all users details.
What i'm trying to figure out is how to update the database for all users,for example if a new user signs up,he should be added to the database and everyone else should be able see his profile instantly,i'm thinking the database should be shared online instead of just updating the local database installed with the app,i'm currently using SQLite plugin to store such data but i'm not sure if it's the right choice for my case.
Does anyone know how to reach what i want ? i would appreciate any help.
Thanks.
Too many users then no point in storing and syncing. Creates more data inconsistency issues and resource consumption.
Online is the way to go.
If there is a subset of users whom u want to store information then thats an option.
Like watsapp stores and syncs information of those who are on your contact or chats only and not the whole watsapp db.
Thank you guys,after a lot of research,few days ago i decided to use Firebase,it's really powerful and works perfectly with angularJS and ionicframework which i'm using to build my app. I would really recommend it in situations similar to mine.

I want to create an asp.net mvc website with One mysql database but i have so good as no idea what I'm going to need..
So my question: how much servers do I need? Do I net an extra server for my database? Do I need any server? Do I need windows or is Linux/Ubuntu enought?
Well I think that's enough!
At the end I have to say sorry for my maybe silly questions but I don't have any idea of that stuff..
Why do you need server.
Server is place where you upload your site and users view the data. Server can be of Linus OS or Windows.
For .NET technologies like asp.net you need windows server.
For PHP etc you need linux.
Mostly the websites on small scale has one server. but it can be increased later on depending on your traffic on site and also size of your application.

Creating and checking license numbers [closed]

To protect software, you can create a validation system which requires users to provide a valid license number (Often 25 letters or digits) which they have to enter with some personal information. This then gets validated (sometimes aby using a validation server, thus requiring online access) and when valid, the user can use the registered version of an application.
Now, simple question: What kinds of solutions are there which would allow developers to implement such a licensing scheme in an easy way into their applications? I could easily create my own solution but I don't want to re-invent the wheel again...
Ezirez Intellilock has a good solution and API to implement it.
Basicly you created a function of (HW ID, Registration Key) and check if it's right.
Intellilock is just a tool to help you lock the software if the license isn't there.
