MySQL Database with FrontPage 2002

[Dominic Archual]

I have a MySQL database and I would like to know if
Microsoft FrontPage 2002 is compatible with MySQL
database. As I will not change my database format I will
just drop FrontPage and move on to DreamWeaver... I would
rather not but my MySQL is the only database that is able
to handle what I am trying to do.

Question: Is Microsoft FrontPage 2002 compatible with a
MySQL database?

Thank you,

You can use Frontpage to write the necessary PHP to interact with your MySQL database but Frontpage has no builtin means of interaction with MySQL.

Incorrect. The DBW works just fine with MySQL. The database and tables must
be built first. DBW will not create the database and tables like with
Access. Some custom queries are necessary, but no big deal. I do it right in
the DBW. MySQL isn't limited to PHP, ASP does fine. My webhost has the ODBC
drivers for MySQL installed. Just set a DSN and go.

Well, you're both right, to a degree. The issue isn't what kind of database
you're using. FrontPage creates ASP pages to work with databases, and ASP
uses ADO (Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects) to do the actual work. ADO can
interact with any ODBC- or OLE DB-compliant database product, AS LONG AS IT
IS RUNNING ON A SERVER THAT SUPPORTS ASP AND ADO. Generally speaking, MySql
is used on non-MS Operating systems, although it can be used on the Windows
platform as well. If the MySql database is hosted on a Windows server, the
answer is definitely "yes, FrontPage can work with it." If not, the answer
is definitely "no, FrontPage cannot work with it."

I'm definitely referring to a Windows server. I might also add that you must
be working live on the server, rather than locally, then uploading.
