Correcting queries

In Oracle there is a way to correct any mistakes in a query, by simply
entering the edit command. And from there, a text editor is opened, to
allow the corrections to be made to the query. This eleminates having
to retype the whole query. Is this possible in MySQL?

It depends on what Client tool you are using to connect to the db
server. I use the MySQL Query Browser that is GPL (I believe) from
MySQL.com for things like this.

Possible? It's essential!. It depends upon what you use to communicate with
MySQL. The simplest setup would be to open up ones favorite editor in one
window while simultaneously holding open a second window where you can
execute the script and view results (or errors!). I happen to like being
able to choose my own text editor.

Repeat
Edit
Save
Execute
Until Success

If that sounds complex (it's not!) you can go for one of several integrated
GUI utilities out there. Simple and free is the MySQL Control Center
[MySQLCC] that you can download from www.mysql.com. It is available in both
Windows and Linux/Unix flavors. Using it for making queries - you get a
text editing window (pane) for your SQL, a results window, and an
error/message window. I expect it would look a lot like your Oracle
utility.

but - Probably better :-)

Don't know if this is the right place to post this JavaScript issue. If not, could someone point me in the right direction please. I am trying to make a "cross browser compliant" floating iFrame. Not real fancy, just load, resize and move. But, I do not have the browsers, OSs and different machines (like Mac) to test the code on. So I need some help to see where this basic example of works and does not work.

I have inherited a complex database that has many dozens of queries that derive data from a people table. I now need to be able to run these queries (from within a significant number of forms) not on the full dataset, but on a subset of the data in the people table.

I'm a fairly new user of access & I've never had any training, so I'm wondering if I'm doing the right thing here, or if it matter at all.

I'm working with a database developed by an untrained person over several years - and on a network that has recently been upgraded with a new server installed and MS office upgraded from 2K (I think - it might have been XP) to 2003. The database is impressive, both in what it does and the obtuse and inconsistent ways it works. There are several hundred queries, for example, with no indication of where they are used or if they are in fact...

I've done this a few times. In a solution I have a project, Say P1, and need another project that will contain much code that is similar to that of P1. I hope no one gets hung up on why I don't somehow share the code. So, I copy the folder P1 is in, change the new folder name, and is VS2005 to change all occurrences of P1's name tp P2's name.
