MySQL + Visual Studio .NET 2003 + VS.PHP

I want to run Visual Studio .NET 2003 and IIS and add VS.PHP to do PHP development work on my local PC. I will need to use MySQL as our company uses MySQL.

Where do I find MySQL to download to my local machine for my development work ONLY.

Do I have to pay $200.00 just to have MySQL running on my local PC?

Does VS.PHP install a local version of MySQL, and will MySQL automatically work with Visual Studio. NET?

Thank you.

    I'm not quite sure, but I don't think that VS.PHP has MySQL. You don't have to pay $200.00 to have MySQL running, the MySQL community edition is free to download:

    I'm not sure though if the mysql plugin for VS.PHP version of PHP is enabled or not, if not you can just edit the PHP configs under the VS.PHP directory.
