trying to get it straight - MySQL

[Pam]

I'm trying to get this all straight in my head - please help!

the server that I host my websites on supports php/MySQL

in order to take advantage of that...do >>I<<< have to purchase MySQL ver 4
from www.mysql.com or ?? I guess I'm thinking that if my server has that
already installed...then I should be able to design a database in excel or
access and then somehow incorporate it into my website on my server.... but
then I think...ok, that's too simple - I probably have to BUY something in
order to be able to upload the information to my website....

can someone help me out here?

And I am currently looking at probably 15 websites that are showing how to
design queries ect... but all say you have to have MySQL ........

thanks
Pam

No, you don't have to purchase it.
