connecting to a database

[scriptmasterdel]

Hi Webmasters,

PHP Programmer here - looking to expand my capabilities and i want to delver into a little ASP / database basics.

My intentions are to create a cms in asp eventually but at the moment i want to get past the basic of connecting to a database.

I know how to connect to a mdb database but i would prefer using mysql as that is what i am firmiliar with but if you could suggest a better database connection type then my doors are open for new things ;-)

So in a nutshell, how do i connect to a database and specify the username, password, host etc

Thank you for your time,

Del
