Its a database (like access) but it runs on a server (access is really a desktop database, not a server database)
Start off with http://www.mysql.com to download varios os versions of mysql (I presume you want the windows version) You install it.. get the JDBC driver and make a Datasource connection from CFADMIN Aso you might want to download one of the front ends for it such as the query analyser http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/query-browser/index.html and the administrator panel http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/administrator/index.html I recomend Aqua Data Studio as a generic Query builder and client but there are lots out there http://www.aquafold.com/ Also check out the tutorial on using it from the command line http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Tutorial.html On Sat, 30 Oct 2004 09:45:54 +0100, Christian Kavanagh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear List, > > When I get rid of Microsoft Access it'll be the last piece of their > software I use!
