A friend of mine is a property manager and rents out units in building. currently everything is in folder and he is looking to have them in computer (Database).
I want to help him since I think I do good in programming and I have good Mysql knowledge (CRUD). However, I am not sure about the starting point so I have 2 questions:
1- In terms of hardware, do I just install mysql server on his computer? Or do I get him t buy another computer and have mysql on it (so it is standalone server)? Or do I need some specialized server for DB?
2- Are there certain steps (high level bullet points would do as I would take it from there) I need to follow? Or even if you can recommend a link I can read?
I have knowledge with Mysql, Java, C++, and PHP
Thank you
Ahmad
I would try someone like site5, hostgator for cheap/good hosting but not godaddy since their interface is usually for people who do not code. Also if you're on a mac install the site locally using mamp, or xampp for windows and then export the database to a live server which can cost anywhere from $5-$15/month.

I have been thinking of making a program to use in my company. I would like to store information in a (local) database and use this to keep track of the payments of my clients. I am most experienced in programming in Java. Do you have any suggestions for these databases?
I believe you are probably looking for SQLite. It is very light, basic, works with SQL,but doesn’t have any built in relational methods to link multiple tables together(JOINS, etc). As you mentioned you’ll be using Java, here’s the SQLITEJDBCPackage. Also, here’s a blog that can help you get started.
On the other hand, there is a wide variety of databases present in the market like:
RDBMS: MySQL, PostgresSQL
NoSQL: MongoDB(can run on cloud and locally), Neo4J
Time Series Database(If you storing IOT or time dependant data): InfluxDB
Cloud Databases(Might not be relevant to you since you want a local setup, but just to help you understand better): Firebase, Neo4J, MongoDB, AWS RDS, etc.

How does a web server and database server work together to provide the necessary services and information to the client's web browser?
Originally, I thought the database and the web server were one and the same (that is, I thought the database was on the web server); but apparently they're separate entities?
Your question is verrrrrry open ended, but I think you will find the following helpful. For this I will be using PHP and MySQL references, but there are many out there.
Your second question first: They are separate services that can, but don't have to be, on the same hardware. If you are on Linux, this is often referred to as the LAMP stack (Linux Apache MySQL PHP)
As far as the actual integration, this is done with SQL queries, that are run using PHP. The result of those queries is then parsed and formatted, also using PHP. That result is then passed to your web browser using HTML.
Like I said, very open ended, but this should give you somewhere to start.

I have a large library of PDF ebooks, and I'm looking for a web app to host on my site to organize and sort a database of the files, as well as have the ability to annotate them by adding data like publisher, year published, keywords, authors, etc. I have a great hosting provider (WebFaction) with access to all sorts of frameworks, like Drupal, Django, Rails, Node, etc., as well as MySQL and Postgres servers, so the language and back-end aren't that important, although .NET is out.
I've searched all over and just can't seem to find anything that fits the bill, although it seems like someone ought to have open-sourced this before. I'm not interested in services like Mendeley (http://www.mendeley.com) or Scribd, but rather something I can host myself, both to overcome file size limits and privacy issues, but also so I can check out the source and modify it if needed.
You seem to need a document management system.
Check out OpenKM or Nuxeo

I'm not sure if this is the best SE site for this question but here goes.
I am looking to implement a simple and easy to use file transfer solution such that people can upload/download files with resume support to our office server (which does not have a static IP address).
So far, I have come across free FTP servers (such as FileZilla) and free DNS routing services (such as dyn) that allow this but I am sure there are simpler solutions out there.
Commercial solutions are welcome as long as non-technical people can administer them.
UPDATE: The data transfer per day is around 10GB and although Dropbox is fine for personal use, I'd rather use a more robust application that allows more control and acceleration. Any ideas would be appreciated.
It seems you have two different problems.
lack of a permanent ip address. This is solced by free dynamic dns services.
second: resumable tranfer. Ftp is Not o good one.
You should try google drvie or dropbox

I am currently working on a project that is hosted at GoDaddy and it has a large database. (Periodically inserting millions of rows). It keeps filling the transaction logs and since GoDaddy sets the SQL user up without permission to basically do anything, I cannot truncate it. The 200mb database max is not ideal either. A VPS isn't in the cards for this company just yet, so I am stuck trying to find a shared hosting provider that office SQL Server 2008 only hosting.
Soooooo, my question is, does anyone know of a hosting company that does SQL Server 2008 hosting that they can vouch for and give high marks?
Cheers guys & gals!
To make a long story short, the more resources you use, the less likely you will be able to use a shared service provider to meet your needs. If you run a Google search, you will find numerous :) However, at some point you will need to get some dedicated resources if you plan on using SQL Server.
It sounds like you are trying to save costs, which is totally understandable, but as the old saying goes "you pay cheap, you pay twice".
DiscountASP.NET looks like a good option for a problem I'm working on at the moment which has similar requirements. They start you off with 500MB of space (+1GB TLog), and you can sign up for more.
Disclaimer: I haven't signed up with them yet, but I've been looking at some of the alternatives, and I keep heading back...
