I stand corrected and humbled. Perhaps I should be more careful to verify what I read, certainly before passing it along. Thanks for the lesson. Regards, Adrien > On Feb 21, 2018, at 3:41 PM, Fred Bone wrote: > > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQLite#History

If you need MySQL, you have to install a MySQL server. (on any platform that doesn’t have it included) IIS is one way to do that on Windows. You can also install a WAMP stack. (Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP) There are one-click installs available online. I would highly recommend installing
