Hi,

I'm a student. What thing does I need to study in order for a VB app work with a Database (Any Database) ? I know I'm lack of some knowledge. It kept failing me to build an app that could store data.

I posted a suggestion for a tutorial for using SQLlite with VB to your question of a few days ago (http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/508036/LettingplusVBplusappplustoplusworkpluswithplusSQLi)
In that tutorial they also offer other links to related tutorials, such as a beginners guide to VB

That tutorial is great. I think i should read this instead of ignoring it. The main reason I ignore it because it's started in Linux environment and it's a bit of weird.

The Linux stuff is really only about getting the bits and pieces installed onto your PC. Use alternative instructions for that bit (Sorry - I thought you had already installed SqlLite and VB).

Oh. I had already Installed SQlite and VB. I'm so sorry because I was a bit of the stubborn kind.

It's not quite that simple - your app can't just work with "any database", you have to decide which database system you are going to use (there are SQL Server, MySql, SqlCE, SqlLite, Oracle, and many, many others).
Then you have to install any necessary software on an appropriate machine (SQL Server and MySql both want a machine to run them in the real world - for development you can install them on your own machine).

Then it still isn't simple - but this should help: VB.NET Tutorial: SQL Database Basics[^]
