Database question --- MS SQL Server / MySQL / Access ---

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Oct 12 '11, 07:52

in Access, you build forms that can have parent/child relationships and make data entry much easier.

is there anything similar to that in MySQL / MS SQL Server that would enable you to link a lot of data quickly?

The books I have seem tremendously typing intensive for something as simple as typing any record in.

nothing native, no. all table relationships have to be explicitly stated in the SQL - prayformojo Oct 12, 07:57
Access is a combination of a frontend client and backend database. MySQL and SQL server are just the backend - oblique Oct 12, 07:56 3
- So, if I'm comfy with an Access front-end, stick with that, dump it on a SQL backend and my data can get in there readily... - Will Hunting Oct 12, 07:58 2
  - when you are ready for php/mysql be sure to check out phpMyAdmin -- nm - decline Oct 12, 08:18 1
