A database driven web site provides a dynamic structure in which to deliver information in an interesting and intelligent way. It allows for text and images to change randomly or according to predefined criteria and thereby present content that is always fresh and compelling.

X Communications has unrivalled experience of producing database driven web applications and the expertise gained at working with such a wide variety of data sources (both provided by the client at outset of a project or purposely developed for the project), in numerous environments ensures X Communications offers unparalleled experience of linking client data to its web applications.

Dependent upon client preferences, expected transaction load and budgetary constraints, X Communications projects are developed to interface to one or more RDBMS platforms:

• Microsoft SQL server
• Microsoft Access
• Oracle
• MySQL

In 2005 X Communications won an Allianz Business2Arts Award for our development of the www.irishtheatreonline.com website and www.irishplayography.com. Both websites are comprehensive database driven solutions. Irish Playography provides detailed information on over 2,000 Irish plays Irish plays produced since 1904 with 33 database fields.
