Is a database needed on a local machine to use Dreamweaver MX 2004?
If you are building dynamic pages utilizing data from a database, we recommend you have access to the database on your network or local machine. You can set up a different connection for run-time and design-time database connections. If you don’t have network access to your database, you can use an FTP connection, or a different database like Microsoft Access for the design time connections. If using a different database, you need to make sure the database field names match the names in your run-time database.
