Need help in C# with a database

Question

I need to create a program using any language and i chose c# because i am most familiar with it. This programs has to keep information of customers, have an invetory to keep stock of items, keep track of sales and other basic stuff. What I can think of is to use c# to create the program and link it to MYSQL. Is there any better way I can do it? Can anyone give me links to where I can learn MYSQL easily? I have done a bit of Access and SQLWorld. Thanks
