I will assume that your hosting service supports MySQL, which most of them do.
Also, most of hosting services allow you to administer your database using phpMyAdmin, in which you can create and drop databases and tables, run SQL scripts, etc. I will also recommend you to install Apache in your Windows machine and make the whole testing of your site in there before uploading the site to your host site.
