Linda: MySQL is a database and Apache is a webserver. They are two independent applications. To access the MySQL database, you will use CGI programming or JSP.

I've been searching them both, but I still don't have answers to some very basic questions. Okay, the MySQL database I want to run will be on my web host. Since I don't have the server physically in my possession, is the working method to install MySQL to my machine, develop the routines there, then upload them to my server? I've been going on that assumption and have attempted to install to my Windows 2000 pro system. Still fumbling with that. Should I be trying to install the version most like the one on my host's server? He's on LInux Apache. Will that cause a problem? I don't see anything in either of these books on uploading, which makes me wonder if they're assuming I have access to the actual server. Of course I do, in a limited way, but I don't see any explanations on how to access the MySQL on my virtual "machine" over at the web host's. What am I missing here?
