I just got a new host with many fetures except a mySQL database so i wanna knw how i can set up a mySQL data base on a host's UNIX server.

OR

Which mySQL is right for a host UNIX server: http://www.mysql.com/

Thanks in Advance

If you're not on a dedicated server, you probably should obtain permission from your web host before installing something like this. I do believe it can be installed (though not easily) within your own space, but you will need permission before installing server software on someone else's machines...

With that said, I'm not sure about your question... What OS are you using? You'll most likely want the most recent MySQL release (http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-3.23.html) for the particular platform you're running.

But again, I certainly wouldn't attempt to install a MySQL server on someone else's machine without explicit permission first...

I do have permission to install a mySQL Database.

Im on a win98 PC and my host uses a UNIX server.

Also can i use a mySQL GUI with this set up?

I forgot to ask:

What OS mySQL version should i download that works on a host UNIX server?

do a 'uname -a' on your host, it should give you an idea of operating system the host is running...

or, sometimes it is just easier to compile from source, see mysql documentation for more details...
