I have installed Umbraco using the SqlCE database before because it is built into Umbraco and is very easy.

But are there any tutorials on how to set up a SQL or MySQL database on a server or web host for Umbraco to use.

I know the front end stuff with Umbraco. Razor, JS, CSS, HTML, Webforms, some MVC, but I have never really personally set up a database to talk to for Umbraco to use that is not the SqlCE database.

This step usually gets skipped in most tutorials. There is always an assumption that we have already set up a database, but what about those who do not know how to set up a database for Umbraco to talk to. Is there a tutorials for that?  I know there is the tutorial on how to install Umbraco on the Umbraco.org site but there is nothing on how to set up your DB or server file structure, etc.  I know hosting companies do some DB set up differently. But I would like to see at least one tutorial that sets up a DB on a web host so I can take that tutorial and apply it to my own webhost so I can up the site out on my host's server and talk to my DB.  Just all the steps that go into a FULL Umbraco install. 

Mainly I thing a step by step tutorial of

1. Setting up a DB on a hosted server for Umbraco to use
2. What folder does Umbraco need to go into "httpdocs" or "httpdoc" or other.
3.  Then go through the set up process.  

Thanks
