Some one told me that MySQL will be the best and fastest way to go i f i need to rapidly show info or answer queries to users over the net.

My 2 important Q's are:

1. Is this true?
2. What should i use or how should i go bout linking the DB to a web site to answer queries to various users at the same time.
3. I know i said 2 but now that im here , what program should i use to make the DB.
4. Last one... promise if i need this done fast will be better to pay some one to do it or i would be able to learn it fast?

Thank in advance foe any light any one could bring to me regarding this issues

1. Should be as most use it. I dont know if MySQL is used by corporate companies. I read that Google uses MySQL for their search data. PostgreSQL and MS SQL Server are 2 other good ones.

3. Again, PHP is the most common one. Though there are others like ASP .NET, Ruby on Rails, Python, Perl.

it is then well past time for you to have a quick perusal of these --
