Default PHP alternative for MwSQL



I am familiar with Microsoft Access, but I have never used MySQL. Does MySQL
have the ability to set up Queries and Reports like Access, or do you need
separate software in order to do this? It appears PHP is always mentioned in
conjuction with MySQL. I really don't want to learn another scripting
language and I am not familiar with Unix. Any suggestions for alternatives
to PHP that would be simpler than using an acutual programming or scripting
language?

You can use MS Access as the front-end to MySQL as the underlying database
system.

Probably by using an ODBC or ADO driver.

For the rest, I don't know - I just know it can be done :-)

You might want to check the MS Access Help on how to use another
database system ...
