[thelist] Database: Replacing MS Access?

[Hassan Mostafa]

As I see it you have these options:

1) keep on using the Access database and connect to it with ODBC

2) use a program like Importer from Datanamic (www.datanamic.com) to
import your Access database into MySQL or PostgreSQL etc etc.

I'm not really a database guy so I can't help you much more.

HTH.

Hassan.
