[s95005b56 at ntuvax.ntu.ac.sg]

Dear friends:

     I am a graduate student of Information Studies and now I am
developing an Information System for a travel company on the Internet. 

     As for as I know, the client/server technology nust be employed in
developing system on the Internet. The client should be developed using
HTML. However, I am not sure about the server. After the server receive
the requests from the client, how does it work to get the results? Are
there many databases in the server? If yes, how to build these databases? 
Using what kind of database management systems? Is not, has the http
provides enough functions doing this? 

     I know there are many experts in developing information systems on 
the Internet in this discussion group, I hope somebody can do me a favor 
to tell me the details on how to develop an Information System on the 
Internet, especially on how to develop the server. 

     Thanks in advance! (Please send mail directly to me.)
