I have no experience using MS Access to interface with MySQL.
I have a tiny MySQL database that might need to have Access connect with it
over the internet and grab data/update etc.
Is this practical and what does it take to do it?
My project is not time sensitive but I'd like to see what methods I can use
to do remote queries with my database running on a *nix/Linux server.
Thanks

You will have to download and install the MySQL ODBC driver onto your
computer. Once this is done, you will need to establish an ODBC
connection (Control Pannel - Admin Tools - Data Sources) with your
database server.
Once this is done, you can use Access the "import" or "link" tables
functions on access to manipulate data on your server using MS Access.
Hope this helps,
Andy

I thank you. This will be tried in due course. (by someone else)

Greetings, all!
I have a project for work, and I'm not sure how to efficiently do what I
need to do. I'm hoping someone out there can help.
Project is this: I'm creating a web-based interface where people at my
company (operators) can enter data for service calls. All data entered
is run thru one or more PHP scripts for error checking and then stored
in a MySQL database on a server here in the office.

I've read some online resources that utilize various MySQL

The situation is this: a group of co-workers of mine will be using an

to generate reports on the fly. What they want to do is to be able to
migrate that data to a MySQL db instance that currently exists on a
different server.
What would be the best...

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to import data out of MySQL db to MS Access 2003 using
ImportXML. I don't have any problems doing the import, except for one
table with a "text" field defined. I'm getting an error message saying
"The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to
add. Try inserting or pasting less data.".
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
I'm keen to use Access as a client application to access data from a MySQL database. The reasons are Access for its strength in reports creation and MySQL for its stability and scalability. I also intend to site the MySQL database with a web hosting service provider. This means I'll be trying to access the database over the Internet using MS Access.
I have managed to access MySQL using MS Access through MyODBC driver and get...

I've imported a ms access database into a table in a mysql database.
The access database contains a field that holds date/time values in
'general date' format. These all show up at 01/01/1970 in the mysql
database. I believe the field in mysql is wanting UTC and shows
numbers when looked at from the sql command line (i.e. March 13, 2006,
5:31 pm is shown as 1142289086). How do I get the access data into
that format so it will import...

You may be wondering why you would want to put your files “into” the database, rather than just onto the file-system. Well, most of the time, you wouldn’t.
In situations where your PHP application needs to store entire files, the preferred method is to save the file onto the server’s file-system, and store the physical location of the file in your database. This is generally considered to be the easiest and fastest way to store files.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
