PHP alternative for MySQL

I am familiar with Microsoft Access, but I have never used MySQL. Does MySQL
have the ability to set up Queries and Reports like Access, or do you need
separate software in order to do this? It appears PHP is always mentioned in
conjuction with MySQL. I really don't want to learn another scripting
language and I am not familiar with Unix. Any suggestions for alternatives
to PHP that would be simpler than using an acutual programming or scripting
language?

You might find it easiest to use MS Access as a client for MySQL.
That's the best solution if you need a non-programming tool in which you
can create Queries and Reports in a visual way.
