Databases :: MySql :: Usinq mysql Database n web

I want to use Mysql database on my website instead of access 97 db which is used as a complaint register with write permission to all. With access it was simple. I just uploaded the mdb, a file dsn and the necessary asp to my website and it was working fine. I do not know whether my web hosts have installed mysql or myodbc on their web server. My doubts are 1) Will mysql db work without mysql server? 2) Can I use asp and vbscript for the operations?

You should verify if your web host has MySql by visiting the hosting service's main page. My feeling is that it is not the case: It is often a service which is charged. Even sometimes, even if the MySql is included in the offer, it is not activated by default. The best is that you ask your web hosting's customer service.

For your specific questions:
1) Will mysql db work without mysql server?
Of course not: A MySql db is installed on a MySql server.

2) Can I use asp and vbscript for the operations?
Yes. Never did it myself but I swear on Donald Rumsfeld's glasses that it is possible. ;-) You will have to change the connection method and some SQL syntax to work with MySql

Do you have a permanent connection to the web? Like DSL? If yes you could install MySQL on your own PC and leave it always on and connected. The bandwidth will not be very high but as it is for complaints, I guess there are not too many complaints a day. This way, the updates will be very easy as you will do them locally.

yes. My suggestion is to upload this simple page to the server and see whether it's working or not :
<?
phpinfo();
?>
