Hi - I new to MySQL and need some help getting started. My webhost has MySQL and I would like to use a canned PHP program that uses MySQL. How would I go about creating a new database? Is there an application that I can use to connect to my webhost to identify the database and fields? Are there any good tutorials and or tools that would help me get started with MySQL. Thanks...

ISP's often provide phpMyAdmin, a browser-based GUI for managing a MySQL database. Other than that, there are several other tools you can use, assuming your ISP allows you to. The MySQL website has:
- MySQL Control Centre (my favourite)
- MySQL Query Browser
- MySQL Administrator
Also available is the "mysql" command-line program, which is included as part of the MySQL package.
The MySQL manual (available in HTML and PDF forms from the MySQL website) contains a tutorial section. You could also search the web for "mysql tutorial" and you will find several resources.
