Hry guys, I am about to attempt my first database project. I want to create a small community that is similar to a myspace application but there will not be more them maybe a hundred friends in it. I am trying to figure this out. I would need to create a database for this. A few questions.

1. there will be a login becuase it will be members only, is this a completely seperate database or should the database be one whole unit.

2. there will be a place for a picture, a few songs, a couple links to different websites that they like, maybe a short video, ....this should all be in the same databse i assume.

3. I am using godaddy for my hosting, do i create the database then use php to put things in and take things out or should i use php all together to create the tables as i go, which brings me to my final question.

4. if say i set this up with 100 slots, and then a 101st person joins, how do i work this in.

I know its a lot but i have been using this forum for years and have always gotten the help i needed and also learned a great deal. Thanks in advance.
