    If I want a mysql database where would be the best place to create one, preferably free? I have ms access so would this be any use or are there better ones to use?

    What kinda database do you want to create?

    MySql is top notch, however hasn't a MsAccess like interface. Typically its use is on a server whereas MsAccess is a personal database.

    Many hosting providers will give you a number of Mysql databases included in your hosting package ranging from 1 or 2 to unlimited depending on your package.

    MySql is open source software so you can download it and run it on your machine for free.

    Toad is a fairly decent frontend for MySQL, if you're running it locally. Or even remotely, once you've remote access to the db
