access at its core is sql, so learning sql by any blind data base user just turns that blind user into a power user whether their supervisors like that or not. For those with a background in windows, using access without sql is like using windows; using access with sql though is like learning all of dos and batch language and at that point you get the rest of the controls put into your hands.

You want to download MySQL Tools from the MySQL website they will let you create, modify, delete databases and table, run queries and so on they are VoiceOver compatible but your going to have to learn SQL which is not a bad thing at all.

Hi there. I am beginning work with databases. At work I have to use this thing called Access to add to databases and help generate reports. Is there anything free for the Mac that can do the same thing? Read the files, let me add to them, and so on?
