I've never used it myself, but it should work fine with Freeola's MySQL as its the standard set-up, with the added bonus that you're not limited to a set amount of storage space (so no need to worry about running out of space if your forums become popular).

Freeola has MySQL 4.0.20 I believe (thought it is a shame they haven't updated their PHP version).

Your database name and username to access it is your Freeola account ID (srxxxxxxx).

You don't get given a set amount of tables to use, but you do only get the one database.

The database is already set up for you once you purchases it from them (I think its £36 per year - quite a high price for just MySQL, but a lot of storage space).

You would just need to change the variables within the PHPbb code (Database username, password, database name, location, etc), which no doubt they include instructions on how to do so.

Your database username: srxxxxxx
Your database password: whatever password is on your Freeola account.
Your database Location: mysql.freeola.net (unless they've changed it)
Your database name: srxxxxxx
