Publishing database

[t@k]

Hi,
I've created a small database by importing some tables from Excel into
Access.

The free webhosting service I use supports the following programming
features:

PHP
Perl
Python
Miva
RealAudio
Sun ONE ASP (Chili!Soft ASP)

The effect I was hoping to achieve is something like this...

What are my options (if any) for getting my database online, bearing in
mind that I'm a virtual novice but do know that the free service does
not support FrontPage extensions or the asp produced by FP.

Thanks for any advice.

Not possible to use a Access database or Excel on a Unix/Linux web server. You would have use MySQL,
contact your host to see.

Or switch to a Windows Server 2000 or 2003 where you can use Access etc with
ASP

I thought (and correct me if I'm wrong) the asp produced by FP is "standard"
ASP - "normal" ASP with a few FP things thrown in - otherwise it's "Standard" ASP
code. I have it working on a server without server extensions.

Can you use MySql on Unix with say, Perl or PHP?

However, depending on the degree of database you require, try this one:
www.ezscripting.co.uk. it is pretty much for 'basic' db stuff, not for a lot of
data(but handles upto around 15,000 records) - they recommend mysql if you're
into serious databasing, but flatfile (csv) databases are fine for low to
intermediate ussage.

It is, but you can't run any MS desktop data sources under Unix/Linux, etc.

Thanks for the input guys. I have decided to transfer to a web hosting
service that offers a choice of Windows or Linux servers. Perhaps I
should have asked before diving in head first =]
