Q: 

Can you use your own database for Facebook applications?

I am completely new to Facebook application development, but I've got a straight-forward question.

I am looking to create an application that would collect a few pieces of information from a user and store it into a database. I wanted to host the database on a MySQL server, but I didn't know how Facebook works with application information and data storage.

My question is - does Facebook allow off-site databases to host information in applications?

+3  A: 

Yep. Mine does.

So, you have an app within an iFrame that has PHP and connects out to a database?

@dmanexe: it doesn't matter where the application gets the data from. the most important thing is that it is an iframe, so you are free to do whatever you want on **your server**.
