MySQL Help...newbie

[Thamian]

I know how to use Cold Fusion and have always used Access for the databases because the company I worked for wanted to use it. Now I am dealing with MySQL, can anyone help me out? I'm a complete a total newbie. The most important questions I have are the following

1) What do I use in order to create the database?
2) How do I upload the database on the web?
3) Once uploaded, how do I download it so I can make changes or delete tables/columns/etc?

Thanks,
Brian
