Almost every web site on the Internet now uses a database of some form. Whether it's to run a simple guestbook, or a complex E-Commerce system, databases are an essential part of modern web site design.

In this chapter, we're going to design a hotel booking system for The Dreamweaver Hotel. Guests will be able to make a booking, log in and change an existing booking, and also cancel a booking.

As we build the booking system, we are going to encounter a number of different database operations: to add records to a database, to update existing records, and to delete records.
