There are several paths you can take when creating a MySQL database application. Because you can’t completely develop an application with MySQL, you’ll need a platform to help you build the front-end with which users will interact.
The most popular path these days is to build a MySQL web enabled application. This is typically accomplished using a web server (apache or iis), a server side scripting language (php), markup languages (XHTML and CSS), an IDE (NetBeans), a query browser (MySQL Workbench), and, of course, MySQL to house the data.
A second path is to use a programming language (like C# or VB.Net) to develop a client application that will run on a local computer and query data stored in a MySQL database residing on a remote server. This requires a development environment (Visual Studio), possibly a connector (ODBC or .Net), and MySQL.
