Re: Newbie-student Database PHP Question

Let's not forget MyAccess, a plugin for Access that lets you manage MySQL databases from within the familiar Access interface. This is the best solution for someone moving from Access to MySQL. Mike Dave Brotherstone wrote:

MySQL is a DBMS, SQL is a language. MySQL has an implementation of SQL, as does Access. All (most) SQL implementations are common for the simple things (select * from tablename), but differ when things get more complex (is about as broad an answer I could give!). Web based access database is fine depending on how many users/transactions you've got. MySQL is easier to plug into PHP (it supports it directly), Access you need to use the ODBC stuff (but it can be done). Learning MySQL is probably a good thing - learning SQL is definately a good thing ;-) Hope this helps, Dave.
