New to Wordpress.
I am aware the default database to Wordpress is MySQL.
Like livejournal, i have a small requirement which allows Admin to post content and registered users on the website are allowed to post contents.
I decided to go with Wordpress, but still have not done much research on allowing registered users to post contents as like admin.
I am wondering, What database would be the best to go with ?
SQL or MySQL ?
Also, whether these contents are stored in the Database or in the form of .doc ?
The database you use doesn't matter as long as Wordpress supports it.
Comment functionality is built into Wordpress. You don't need to do any custom development to make it happen. If you only want registered users to be able to comment, you'll have to make a setting requiring users to be registered and logged in to comment. This setting is under Settings - Discussion. Comments are stored in the database.
Those are a few questions in one, so I'll answer each one of its own and paraphrase:
Can Wordpress use some other database than MySQL?
No, Wordpress only supports MySQL, so there is no choice.
Are the posts or pages/content in Wordpress stored in a database or in a .doc file
The contents of posts in Wordpress, just like in liveJournal, are actually stored in a database.
Is it possible to allow users in Wordpress to submit content that an admin can then review and publish/delete later etc.
Yes. Very much so. I believe it's built into Wordpress, you just need to have a registered user and enable the feature.

I am working with a client who is using WordPress. I am not familiar with WP like I am with other frameworks. In this situation, the client wants to allow users to enter data into a form and I will create pages to display this data so it can be managed. I am thinking I need to get the user entered data saved into a table. I will then read from this table to display in another page. I need to do CRUD stuff within WP with JavaScript.
Are there plugins that will allow me to create tables within the WP database? Can I use JavaScript to read/write to them, or do I need to use PHP? I don't have access to the source code so I am doing everything via the functions.php and JS files.
Because I don't have much experience with WP, I am not sure what can be done. Thanks for any suggestions.
While it's definitely doable programmatically, I don't see much reason in recreating the wheel. Perhaps Contact Form 7 would work for you. If not, Gravity Forms can do what you need, but I believe there is a cost for that.
I have a Wordpress site that the client wants to set a couple of users up on, purely for creating, editing and deleting blogs. They want to assign these users the 'author' role and when they log into the admin area, they only want them to see the post type 'posts'. They do not want them to have access to media or any other custom post types. Does anyone have any ideas on this please?
User Role Editor plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/) has always served me well in cases like that.
As the description says: User Role Editor WordPress plugin makes user roles and capabilities changing easy. Edit/add/delete WordPress user roles and capabilities.
Sounds like the Groups plugin is what you're looking for here. I don't think that functionality is possible within stock Wordpress.
This allows you to further segregate users and permissions, restricting to posts, etc.
i am newbie to wordpress.I just created a free blog in Wordpress.I want to know how to create Database in it and use it. Any links to good tutorial will be great.Thanks in advance.
WordPress itself uses a MySQL database to store (among other things) post content and meta, users, info about plugins, etc.
In terms of creating a separate database from the one that's in WordPress itself, the question you're asking itself makes me very hesitant to think that you should. You'd be dealing with passwords, permissions, and a whole range of very easy to screw up settings that probably aren't worth playing with if you're new to WordPress.
If you wanted to use the database in WordPress itself and have the ability to write queries or create tables, you could look at any number of SQL plugins (eg http://wordpress.org/plugins/sql-executioner/ or https://wordpress.org/plugins/elisqlreports/) that would allow you to query tables in the WordPress database.... I don't recall if the existing plugins would allow you to create/modify tables, but phpMyAdmin or terminal would be just fine for that if not.
Since you're new, let me ***strongly*** encourage you not to modify/delete the default tables in WordPress, especially not on a live site.
Best of luck
As a admin I created some posts with attachments and allowed permissions to particular users it works fine no other member or non-member can access those posts but what about the attachments everyone can access those attachments.
I read http://www.idowebdesign.ca/wordpress/password-protect-wordpress-attachments/ but I don't want to use .htaccess. Is there any good wp plugin which do this?
You can download the SEO by Yoast plugin. In that there are settings to apply a no-index etc. to make the content un-discoverable by search and the sitemap.
You could also use membership plugins like imember360 (formerly infusionwp) or Premise (by coppyblogger people)
There are quite a few ways to secure attachments etc.
I guess my question would be can anyone see the page where the attachments are, or is it a page you give them a link to?
Thanks!
I have both Wordpress and Drupal installed on two domains. I want the users that register via Wordpress to be stored in Drupal's user table. Also, any login attempts should be checked against Drupal's database.
I don't have a lot of experience with either (though I'm fairly confident in my PHP skills). I am not looking for a way to mirror the users, but to actually tell Wordpress to use Drupal's database.
I think I have to rewrite the login and register methods on Wordpress. Am I wrong? And what's the best way to do this? (what files do I need to go into)?
You wouldn't want to tell Wordpress to use Drupal's entire database as it'll just create a lot more headaches. You're better off loading something like Drupal's boostrap and attempting to call the registration functionality, this again would cause more issues.
Is there a particular reason preventing you from using one system? Migration plugins/modules exist for both CMS'.
I'm sure others have come across the same issues.
