<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi everybody</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm currently experimenting on creating some python
generated web pages, and was wondering what databases are used for... (Sorry if
it is abit to vague/general)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Basically what I have been thinking of doing
(without using a database) is having a few articles as text documents (with html
code i.e. <p>'s and <a>'s) and importing them into python and
displaying the text into an entire page (with tables and pics et
al).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Without any prior experince in web programming I
was just curious, if this is something that is (normally) done with
databases, or how they are used (in simple terms *grin*) in
practise.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also would you recommend me to try and play around
with some variant of a database or to just relax and get to understand basic
CGI/web programming better before starting with it now? I realize you don't know
my current level but as a general pointer, is it best saved for
later?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been trying to google for it but I didn't
really find anything useful... </FONT></DIV>
