MySQL is your database, and HeidiSQL is software to connect to your database and visually modify/insert data

Humm then what im doing in HeidiSQL is basicly localhost will never be saved like server side ?! well i think then its time to try to install mysql

or if working on heidi it means i already have MySQL ?! the brain dmg xD lul

HeidiSQL is a GUI to interact with a MySQL server. The fact that you can use it means you already have a MySQL server. Doesn’t matter if local or not, HeidiSQL can interact with any MySQL servers and also other SQL servers like PostgreSQL

It’s like…using PuTTY to connect to a VPS using SSH
