Hey guys I just took on a new project and the script is in MySQL which is new to me. I'm a quick learner but I just need to get started, witch is the problem. Is there a way to start a MySQL database for free? Like I don't have to use a web host if I'm just testing on my own computer. Is there a way to start a local MySQL database for free? Even if you guys just shoot me a link or something anything would be great help THANK YOU.

Do I use PHPMyAdmin after I load XAMPP Thanks again Guys!

You have to turn on Apache and MySQL from the XAMPP control panel,
after that click on Admin so it will open up the localhost, first I suggest you to change the password so go to Security
change the password, re-open the localhost go to phpMyAdmin and login with your password.

Awsome!!!! Okay I got that done, Once I've created password and the user as root, I've logged in. Do I go to my server folder and then scriptfiles then open mysql. Do I just change the Hostname|Database|Username|Password to my information? Thanks Wizzy!!

Yes you have to do it, but before that you need to create the database.

I'm really sorry to keep asking questions. Okay do I need to go into the .pwn to find what I need to add to the database? And I'll also have to create a table? I know its a broad question so if you don't feel like explaining thats okay haha. Do I just need to create 1 database generalized like " badass stunting server " Or is it like "Members","Money","health" sort of thing?
