I need to know how to set it up and how to connect.

MySQL is already installed but there is no database, no tables.

   Why not?  If you do it right, it works just fine.  I develop mainly on my 
laptop before uploading to the main server.  I have MySQL installed on the main 
server, and on my laptop.  When I'm working in DW, using PHP, all I have to do 
is connect to localhost to get to MySQL.  When I upload the page, it works fine 
because it's now querying the local MySQL server.

   You can go further, I also have a dedicated MySQL server that's different 
from the main webserver.  On both the webserver as well as my laptop, the $host 
point to that address.  Either way, you CAN develop MySQL specific scripts 
using PHP, in Dreamweaver.
