Hi,
The company I work for wants me to take over our website, which is linked to a database. I have done website design and am familar with those programs, but I am not familar with databases and how they work with websites. I think that when our results are shown on the site they are from asp....what is the difference between a server page and something like MySQL?
I know these probably sound like really lame questions, but any help would be so appreciated!

Ok, here is the basic difference: DBMS (database management system) such as mysql serve as a warehouse of data which is stored in a structured format. HTML pages is the representation of that data in human friendly, Server pages (Scripts) written in a server side language such as php or asp are used to connect to dbms to store or retrieve that data.

Treat the database as remote data source. Your application connects to the database server, asks for data with queries and receives some data as result that can be inserted into html.

Tech implementation of interaction with db srver is different in different languages, but usually it is some object which provides you some methods to send the query to database and receive the result. In php in particular basically it is not even an object, just a set of functions.

ASP connects to MySQL. The ASP code can contain a SQL query which runs on the database server and returns the requested data. Than ASP has to format how it looks on the web page.
