1 ) Mysql goes well with PHP and of course its free

2 ) You can write binary data to a mysql database using a BLOB

what do you mean convert database to database ?
if you mean convert jpg to data, no you can't do that, but also somehow you can convert word files to data !!

 

Thank for your reply

I mean not database to database. For online examination i have questions and answers(multiple choice answer type) in word file. My question how can i store data. Whether i have convert (Questions and answers) to Mysql.

If possible give me one sample

Thanks
