I desperately need everyone's help.
I normally build database driven websites on NT Servers with an MS Access database, using perl 5 to read/write the database.
Now I need to build a website that can handle a database with almost a gigabyte worth of images to catalog (no it's not porn).
Ideally I would like to use the same method BUT the only hosts i can find that will offer that much disk space only use Unix and MySQL.
I, However, have never used MySQL. I have used sql statements in the perl script to read/write the MS Access database, but i have never used MySQL.
I need someone to tell me would I have to buy some software to build a MySQL database?
Is there a free download that i can use to build the database?
Where would I find it to download/purchase it?
Is there an easy example of what statements I could use from a perl script to add, delete and read a single entry or a whole range of entries from the database?
Can someone please help me? I'm desperate!
Alternatively, if someone knows of a host that offers that much space and MS Access capatibility for around $10 a month that would certainly work too.
Thank you everyone for your help and time in this.
Sincerely,

Mike, I'm learning MySQL also. Should be really easy with your background

You can change database structure or data values in the GUI, and read the resulting MySQL statements in the other window.
