Using MySQL with FrontPage

I've seen a lot of postings about using SQL with FrontPage. Can someone
point me to a web site that uses MySQL as its database? Currently, I use
QuickBase for our catalog (sample of select portion used for "decals":
http://www.rc10.com/misc/database/db_decals.htm) and wonder if MySQL
will do the job just as well. I prefer to use a database rather than
tables so the information would be easy to update from one location.

I ask because there is information out there on how to use MySQL, but I
have not seen any instructions how to integrate it with HTML.

Thanks,
Steve H
 
Typically, MySql runs on Linux or other Unix variants. On such systems,
developers generally use a programming language called PHP to make the
database calls and display a Web-based user interface.

On Windows hosts, it's more common to use SQL Server or Access as the
database, and ASP.NET or ASP as the programming language.
