 Sometimes you may want to connect to existing database tables but display data from several existing database table in a single query.

 Many credit card payment systems, such as PayPal, require that your web site communicate with them via a particular URL. Whenever your web site needs to perform credit card payment the users need to click on the link with this URL, which will bring them to the web site of the credit card payment system. As part of the URL that your web site supplies to the credit card payment system you must also specify the URL that the credit card payment web site will use to return to your web site upon successful or un-successful completion of the payment. Many credit card payment systems, such as PayPal, require that your web site communicate with them via a particular URL.
