Hi all. A couple people have suggested I use mysql for building a database in my web site. I just came across something called mysql front. Would this be similar to a nice easy graphical interface system for mysql as frontpage is to building web sites? Or is is not that easy? - Dave

Never heard of MySQL Front before. If you want a good front-end tool for MySQL, look at PHPMyAdmin. It comes standard on most web hosts and it's very very good.

mySQL Front is EXCELLENT! I've been using it for many years without incident.
I like it better than the mySQL Administration tools.
But don't compare it to frontpage - mySQL won't bloat your databases like frontpage bloats code.

I am building a website using FrontPage 2003 and want to use MySQL. I am building a commercial/retail lettings website and want to use MySQL to store the property details and run the search results. Is MySQL Front something that could do this for me or is there something else I can use?
I have used MySQL and PHPadmin before for setting up a forum, but am totally oblivious of how to get my FrontPage site to communicate to my database!

mySQL Front is a database front end - it will help you create the tables and fields, and administer the database.
It has absolutely nothing to do with the webpages.
There are instructions with Frontpage on how to connect to a database, but it has nothing to do with mySQL Front.
