I have a project where I may need to connect an MS ACCESS db and MySQL. I have read some pretty good documentation and know that is possible to take an existing Access db and export it to MYSQL. I have a few questions and wondered if someone might offer some insight.
1. Where must the Access db reside in order to talk with MySQL? 2. After the import to MySQL, if I insert new data into MySQL will the Access db be updated as well? I am looking for a way to access live MS Access data from the web. Obviously, I could connect directly to the Access db itself but with limited connections, I would think it would be hard to share the data . My thought was when someone updated the Access db, the data is then exported to MySQL. I then could use php, JSP or whatever to access the data from the web without having to worry about odbc connections. Am I way off here? Any help is appreciated. thanks Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
