Re: MySQL & FP

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Databases in SQL Server and MySQL are managed using specific
applications - FrontPage is not such an application.
For SQL Server you would write an application using ASP or asp.NET (or
use the application provided by GoDaddy) to manage the database, for
MySQL hosts normally supply a PHP application - phpMyAdmin.
You will have to write your own scripts, or use the FrontPage Wizards,
to update or view the contents of the databases.
