- Inserting, updating and removing data from the database.
- Selecting data from one or more tables and retrieving it in a variety of different forms.Note: If you are looking for practical information about accessing the database in the old 1.5 document you need to look at this part of the tutorial.
Advanced information[edit]
This tutorial looks at how to transactions with JDatabase (available since 
only):
Supported Storage Connectors[edit]
The table below outlines the database and storage connectors available for Joomla! as well as which version of Joomla they became available in.
To make a connector available in Joomla's installer or global configuration manager, you will need to ensure the PHP library is installed (E.g. for PHP5 and MySQL the php5-mysql library would need to be installed).
