How to Convert an Access Query to MySQL
SQL stands for Structured Query Language. This is a standardized language that is designed to work with any database application that understands SQL. For this reason, SQL statements that are created in one application should work in nearly any other application without any modifications. Microsoft Access can be used to create queries using their query-by-example (QBE) and then the resulting SQL language can be viewed and copied to any other location, including a web page accessing a mySql database.
