Question ASP & SQL Server help needed

Hi,

I need to develop some ASP pages with a SQL Server Backend ... I've only used Access 2000 so far and would always just put a copy of the Access database in the WWW Root folder for connections.

Now I need to use ASP to connect to SQL Server 6.5 which looks ridiculously overcomplicated from what I'm used to ... I'd rather use MySQL and PHP but the job requires ASP/SQL setup ... anyway, when I make my site in the WWW Root and set up my connections to the database, do I just map my connection to a database in the SQL Server directory? Or can SQL Server manage a database in the InetPub/WWW Root directories?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I don't have any experience with SQL Server 6.5, just 7 and 2000, so I'm not positive that this will apply, but I think it will.

To connect to a SQL Server database in ASP, you use a connection string that specifies the IP address of the SQL Server and specifies a database. This way, you let SQL Server worry about where to keep the files.
