Steps in using the database at astahost.com

I'm building my website now and I'm anxious to know how to use the mysql.I have the development experience with Oracle and C++. But is new to mysql and html or asp.Would the experts here state the steps how to use the mysql here? Thanks in advance.

What language are you going to use to write your scripts?

Try php and some Js for a better graphics, Php: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/.... Try to understand the others scripts, It's the best metod for me

If you're going to write the table structures of your mysql database yourself, phpmyadmin will be a big help to you. This tool can be found in the cpanel of your hosting account. Try the mysql homepage for more help.

Try the mysql homepage for more help.

Mysql.org or Mysql.com not mysql.net , and to adminstrate it try also http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Mysql ontrol center that are not a script as PhpMyAdmin but i think is more stable than phpmyadmin IMHO

Thanks everyone,I'm in the process to achieve the success. Now, I could store some message to the mysql database. Maybe my experience will provide some slight help to the new comer such as myself, so I write it here:First of all, login on your cpanel provided by Xisto, and use sitemanagement tools to create your mysql databases, users and grant the users with correct (I used MysqlDatabase and phpMyAdmin). With the phpMyAdmin we may also create the certain tables.To keep safe of the database, table and password, I use php file to operate the data. Besides the command Xisto has provided, I use msql_query("sql query") to send sql querys to mysql, use mysql_close to close the connection created by mysql_connect. My php file is like this,<?$dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "<User>", "<password for the user>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());mysql_select_db ("<database instance>"); $query="<sql query>;"; $result=mysql_query($query); $close = mysql_close($dbh) or die ("Unable to close database server connect!"); ?>If there is any suggestion, please approve it as needed. However, I still don't know how to return from my php file to its caller, could anyone here help me with it.

HTTP is a stateless protocol

All the communication goin on is stateless so you cannot go back to the caller

Use some feature of php to get back to it. or may bee Cookies will help [i dont know php that much but i know it supports Cookies]

adios
