hi there,
I am quite interested in making the move from Access to MySQL. I have
grabbed all the software that is needed (MySQL, MySQL Control Center, MaxDB,
etc.) and have installed it all without a hitch, everything is running
smoothly, so far. My only concern is that I am still trying to look at
everything from a Access point of view; meaning, I am trying to find out how
to create forms and reports and what not.
The reason for this is I already have an extensive database put together in
Access. If I go and create the tables from my access database into MySQL how
would I go about creating the Forms, Reports, and other Queries that I
utilized on my Access Database on the MySQL database. (it's late here so my
thoughts aren't as sharp right now...I apologize if none of this is making
any sense..hehe).
Simply put, does MySQL have the functionality for generating forms, reports,
macros, etc. or is it strictly just for the hard data end of things and I
need another program to tackle the rest of the stuff?
thanks in advance

MySQL is a database management system. No forms or reports. One thing you
can do is create a data source (you have to download the odbc driver from
MySQL.com) and using Get External Data from Access either import or link the
data from the mysql database. Then you would be able to use Access's forms
and reports capabilities. I don't know what overhead you will incur by going
through Access.

Thanks for the reply Rich. I understand what you mean by using the ODBC and
then importing from Access. But what if I would be in a situation where I
would no longer be able to use Access. Do you know of any other programs out
there that offer the same capabilities in regards to making it easy for the
developer and the user to manipulate and call forth the data from the
database? From a web based perspective would this be something such as PHP?
and if so, what would its equivalent be in a non-web-based application.
Sorry for picking your brain there Rich, I am just trying to wrap my own
around all this stuff. hehe

Hi,
You can use a programming language like VB.NET or C# or any other
language capable of using ODBC database to create an application that
will use your database as a backend. This will allow you te easilly
create forms and "macros". For the reports you can generate them "by
hand" or use a thid party control like Crystal Reports.

Why not use all of your existing forms & reports in Access as they are,
and reconnect the tables to MySQL through ODBC? Then you don't need
another tool for creating all of this. There are some challenges to
get it all to work (see www.mysql.com/doc for details), but when you do
get it there, it works well. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I have the following warning message when I move all the php files to the
new server. It had no problem with the former server.
Warning: main(): stream does not support seeking in
/home/dominator/public_html/footer.php on line 11
MySQL is running with PHP. How could I fix this problem?
Thank you for your advise in advance.

Hello everyone,
I am looking for an algorithm that would take an incremental value and
map that to a case-inspecific alphanumeric string. However,
I don't want the string to simply step through 0000, 0001 ... ZZZZ. I
would ideally like the value to appear to jump around randomly, but
still be traced back to an incrementing value. So, for example, while a
simple standard mapping might look like:
foo(1) => 0000
