    Yes, your server needs to have MySQL installed to be able to use it. Otherwise you, well, can't use it :p

    Basically You
    1. Populate the database (e.g. Insert a new article)
    2. Connect to the database
    3. Get information from desired table
    4. Display appropriate data

    That's really all there is to it :)

    Cheers
