I am preparing a new website that will contain names, address and phone numbers of people in my region of Costa Rica. Will I be able to post a database prepared in Visual Basic 2005 Express / SQL Server 2005 Express on the website's MySQL Server and utilize the data to populate webpages?

If not, what should I use to prepare the database and drive the webpage.

no, you won't be able. sql server runs on windows only.

a rmiao says you can use MySql and connect to it from VB
