Starting out with mysql

[everspire]

HI,
I'm just starting out with mysql and would like any advice

I'm used to using asp with access database so this is a whole new thing for me

just a few questions if anyone can help

1 - can i use mysql with asp?
2 - Is there a windows 98 editor for a mysql database?
3 - if no windows editor how can i add tables/fields etc -do i have to edit files manually?
4 - Is it possible to run a local copy using personal webserver so I can build/edit stuff offline?

any other help or urls to look at would be great

I'd be grateful of any help
thanks

Glynn
