Flex generates a Flash movie (SWF) file that runs in the browser
("client side"). It's therefore a presentation layer for your
application. It calls your Java, PHP, ASP.NET, CFML, etc., "server
side" code to do such things as fetching database records,
authenticating/authorizing a user, etc. Your server side code
generates data in a format that Flex can understand (for example,
valid XML). Flex then consumes that and is able to display it in a
datagrid or other control.In this regard, then, Flex is database-agnostic -- it doesn't care where the data it uses comes from. But as others pointed out, you'd want to avoid using MS Access for building web apps; the other databases provide their pluses/minuses. If you need something free, then MySQL/PostGre are good choices. If you're a Microsoft shop, then maybe SQL Server. And of course Oracle is a solid choice for enterprise apps as well. Hope this helps. - Alex C --- In [email protected], "christophe_jacquelin" <christophe_jacque...@...> wrote: > > Hello, > > What is the best database for Flex: mySql or SQLServer ? > > Is it possible to use an Microsoft Access database with Flex ? > > Thank you, > Christophe, >
