PHP Integrating PHP with Databases Databases and PHP Introducing Objects

Disappointed

Not gonna lie I am actually really disappointed that we are using Sqlite in the course. Why not MySql? Like PHPMyAdmin and that sort of thing?

plus no companies really use sqlite. And I'm trying to migrate my projects to heroku and they don't support sqlite, and trying to migrate everything to mysql is becoming a real pain.

I agree.

You can use whatever you want in this course. For example I'm using MySQL and local environment.

What's wrong with SQLite?

it does not have an interface for starters. And I have used it before in the Python flask course. It is such a pain.

Well, you can't change the videos to use MySQL.

I think the easiest way to understand what's going on is to first check out the SQL Basics course.

You should have a better understanding how the code works if you finish that course :)

I already know sql basics obviously. But I just wish they did not use sqlite. That's it. I just don't understand why.

Its no longer used much !!!!

i agree with that! use MsSQL is easier to learn at the first step.
