Chapter 24. Adding Dynamic Data to Your Pages

A database is different from a mere pile of facts because it can selectively retrieve information. After all, when you visit Amazon.com, you don’t want to see every single book and product they sell. You probably just want to see a list of books on a certain subject or by a particular author, and then view more detail about the books that pique your interest.

This chapter shows you how to use Dreamweaver to display database information on your Web pages. Because these concepts can be tricky, you may prefer to get some hands-on experience by completing the tutorial on Tutorial: Displaying Database Info before reading the rest of the chapter.
