Creating A Database - Falcon Interceptor - 13.07.2010

Alright, you already saw the Title now.

I wanted to create a database using NotePad. I don't need such as MySQL because it is only to input some text
And that is not very much to be inputted.

So, I search in the internet but I found no tutorials of making database using NotePad.
Can someone help me please?

Thanks!

Regards,
Falcon Interceptor

P.S: Is making database using Microsoft Access easier or harder? If it easier can anyone help me too?

It depends what you want this database to be for.

Is this for a SA-MP script? Or is this for other information such as archiving payment information and for local use? Or something you want to display on the internet?

Re: Creating A Database - Falcon Interceptor - 13.07.2010

Not for SA-MP script.

This is for other information such as archiving payment like you said.
But, this one stores my relatives informations.

If I load one of their files.
The proram will load the files of relatives that I wanted.

It is like Criminal Database things.

Notepad is just a default text editor for Windows, similar to gedit for gnome.

If you want to store information about people in a similar format to something like MySQL (rows and tables) you would use something like Microsoft Access. It allows you to create a database with different rows and tables to store specific information and it also has the tools to create a GUI in which you can use to retrieve the information easily.

You can ****** something like 'microsoft access tutorials' and I'm sure it will detail on how to actually do this.

Alright Thanks UberSocks and guys.

I'll try as soon as possible

Unfortunately Microsoft Access is not accessible on the web last time I checked.

Re: Creating A Database - Falcon Interceptor - 15.07.2010

Alright, I made the database. [ Don't know if it is working ]

I'm using Visual Basic now. How do I load files from the database?
And, how do I store files to database using the Visual Basic program that I made.
[ Meaning I can't connect them to the database. -> Major Problem ]
