HTTP CRUD Database Lifecycle
It's important to understand how data flows through a typical web application.
- The front-end processes some data from user input - maybe a form is submitted.
- The front-end sends that data to the server through an HTTP request - maybe a
POST. - The server makes a SQL query to its database to create an associated record - Probably using an
INSERTstatement. - Once the server has processed that the database query was successful, it responds to the front-end with a status code! Hopefully a 200-level code (success)!
A front-end typically communicates with a database directly to add new records.
