Flash does not talk to a database directly.
You use Flash LoadVars or XML classes or Flash Pro components to communicate
with a server side script that does the database work. You could pass an SQL
statement using those objects, but from a design point of view unless you
are allowing the user type in SQL statements (a dangerous web opening) you
pass the needed data and the server side script forms the SQL statements.
Once you know the server side scripting language you are using (ColdFusion,
PHP, ASP, ASP.Net, JSP.....) and database technology you can get more
specific help in this forum.

im trying to avoid using active server pages, and use flash 8 only.
Im considering using xml, and would like to know if you can make unique
entries like the SQL ?
so I could NOT update the xml file without having duplicate entries.
Have anything to help me out? thanks

You can load static files that have XML. As for filtering, I think you need
to code that yourself and you can do it once the XML is loaded into Flash
but would probably require the full file for each new instance of the movie
or more likely each user request of data.
You cannot have Flash write to a file without it going through a server side
script and in which case the server side script is writing to the file and
not Flash.

How do you do ASP.net intergration?
all i want to know is how flash can retrieve asp.net textbox text value...

As a simple test, have ASP.Net Response.write the value as either a url var
pair or as an xml data structure.
Use Flash LoadVars if you are using url var pairs or Flash XML class if xml.
You can find working examples of the Flash side in the help that comes with
Flash. They work.
Your server side coding will depend on the data you need to send and return
to Flash.
