From: George on 12 Feb 2010 15:20 I am looking to create a web database for my web site. My web host provides My SQL, can I use a Access database to store the data. Where can I find the steps to create a web database - my host provider isn't very helpful. They provide MySQL and Php MyAdmin. Where do I begin ? Thanks
From: Daniel Pineault on 12 Feb 2010 17:00 If your host provides MySQL and PHP then you start to learn those 2 tools or switch to another host. That said, MS Access is not geared towards developing web based application with the exception of SharePoint...., but that will not be part of a hosting plan anyways. Short answer, if you wish to truly develop a web app., then start learning MySQL and PHP. There are numerous free ressources to do so. -- Hope this helps, Daniel Pineault http://www.cardaconsultants.com/ For Access Tips and Examples: http://www.devhut.net Please rate this post using the vote buttons if it was helpful.

From: George on 12 Feb 2010 17:34 Daniel - I understand you can't use Access to create a web database, but I noticed on my host provider has a feature to upload a Access database and covert it to SQL rather then creating a table within their SQL from scratch, does that sound possible ?

From: Daniel Pineault on 12 Feb 2010 18:23 Upsizing to Sql Server is one option. If you do not already have a db created, then simply start with the tools they give you. If you already have the table structure/data, then it would be worth the transfer process to save you time. -- Hope this helps, Daniel Pineault http://www.cardaconsultants.com/ For Access Tips and Examples: http://www.devhut.net Please rate this post using the vote buttons if it was helpful.
