\ I cannot understand how a database SERVER works ;

I have created a form to be processed by php , and a mysql database with a table to store the strings typed and submited by the form ;  
It has been tested succesfully on my localhost and now I want to test it on the server ;  
The hosting account support suggested me to install the front end “Mysql front 3.2” to deal with database ;  
What I don´t understand is how it works , and besides that , what files are the database itselft ?

I created a database named test\_692005 , which is on a folder C:\wamp\mysql\data est\_692005 where there are 3 files :

- db.opt
- table\_001.frm
- table\_002.frm ;

in the folder C:\wamp\mysql\data there is a file (ib\_logfile0) which I  
opened with notepad and found stored the strings typed in the form ;

How do you usually upload your databases to the server ???  
Thank you very much ;[/FONT]
