MS Access with mySQL
Brian Hartwig

Your seminar will be a benefit in the long run.

However, based on my current setup of my own VPS on Interserver.net with Centos 7.x, soon to be migrated to a compatible cPanel Linux OS, I found the ability to use MS SQL Management to be against my needs.

I installed MySQL Workbench on my laptop in full mode, and it subsequently added the MySQL 8.0 ANSI and Unicode ODBC connectors, which I was then able to create a connection to Export and then relink the tables within my front end databases.

As my databases sit on my Office 365 account, linked as a shared drive letter across multiple computers with ExpanDrive, I noticed that when I load the same databases on my tablet, as set on the laptop, no connection. But of course, that's because it device specific, and won't carry over that portion.

So for the tablet, as I don't need full access, at least for now, I installed the ODBC connectors only and created a new connection under the same name, for easy compatibility for use in Access on the tablet, when I update.

So the next thing to do, will be to create a web front end for my needs, as I am extending as a dedicated delivery driver. Whatever I can make easier on my end between us (server / database) the more efficient as a self employed individual.

A few other benefits that I remembered after submitting the original post:

1. Superior response time to the data from mySQL vs a general network connection, thus probability of the database crashing is greatly reduced.

2. Can customize a website, along with a format for a mobile app, for enhanced business use between the potential client / customer and myself.

3. Easier use of combining data from tables originally designed for multiple database projects, which also reduces load time and chance of a corrupt front end, by not having to pull tables from 1 or more files that would otherwise use more resources.

Hopefully the concept encourages others to migrate from a local app to an SQL server, be it local, or remote. As I am glad I finally took that plunge last night, Sunday, April 2, 2023.

I am also very thankful for the tutorials you have provided thus far, and I hope to one day soon, be able to invest further into these seminars to enhance my own knowledge and "edumacation" (from Pete's Dragon).
