Do you have a SQL membership database?
Small business owners are using SQL to store their membership information because they anticipate rapid growth.
If this is you, then you may want to consider storing your membership information in a SQL database. Another advantage to SQL is that you can move your solution to a cloud provider, like AWS or Azure. Both these major cloud providers support SQL databases.
What this means is you can scale your membership with little effort.
Conversely... if you are storing your membership information in flat files or spreadsheets, when you reach the capacity, you'll have to find a better solution. That better solution is to migrate to a SQL database.
Membership databases often store more than one record per member. If you need to track your members' payments, and they are paying monthly, you'll need much larger capacity for your membership information. SQL can hand that without a problem.
You can learn about how to access the first and most recent payment dates... and other information associated with them. The link in the description and comments section will point you to a tutorial on the topic.
The tutorial does NOT cover how to set up a SQL membership database. The tutorial assumes you already have one. But even if you don't, when your membership grows, you'll likely choose a SQL database when you max out your current solution.
When you get your SQL database setup and import your existing members, this tutorial will be ready for you to learn how to handle this situation.
