Better than SQL.

Question

Is there a better or faster way to write your back end other then SQL? I'm done with what I have, but next time I'd rather be able to write my back end in a day rather then 3.

Answer 1

Honestly, I would simply gather all your options of what you are wanting to do and see which one matches your needs the closest.

Just as a forewarning, be VERY careful with credit card numbers. There are VERY strict guidelines to PCI Compliance. Specifically The piece around the CDE. You have to have it as a server inside of a server inside of a server kind of thing. So server 1 can only tall to server 2, and then server 3 can only tall to server 2. so server 3 can NEVER communicate with server 1.

Hope that makes sense.

Answer 2

you are more than welcome. again, I would highly recommend looking at PCI Compliance requirements. in order to be considered and certified as a level 1 PCI compliant company, you have to get certified for it. So I would be very very careful if you are currently storing credit card data as this could and probably is putting you in a risky situation.

Answer 3

oh no I'm not. I do everything legal here man. I don't have a client looking for that kind of code yet and I don't think I'm 100% ready to get into that yet either so I'm going to keep learning and wait untill I know I'm ready. trust me I understand this is no joke. thats why I want to do all the studying and learning on it can can before I actually get to that point. and if I do I will just use my server host(gator) and use their built in api like program that embeds it into my code and opens a window to their server side credit code, just to always be safe. Thanks for the advice! launched my first website last week!

Answer 4

Access? NoSQL? There are lots of alternatives depending on what you are was thing to do with it.

Answer 5

Is it relational databases or the language SQL you want to get rid off. If you don't care for relational databases there are NoSQL solutions like Mongo or Couch. If you want to access relational dbs without SQL strings there are frameworks in various languages like C# Linq or Scala Slick.

Answer 6

I'm looking to write backend for photo uploads, login forms, and text box savings. also to store data like names, address, credit cards, etc. I've done it in SQL already but it takes so long. is XML possible a faster alternative?

Answer 7

I am actually learning c sharp right now for Android game so I might learn how to write backend in c#?

Answer 8

yes they did actually on the cards. I knew there are compliance that I need to follow but didn't know about the server part. I can do that actually. thank you!
