Linking Access To MySQL Issues

Jun 8, 2007

I have converted my MS Access database tables to MySQL Server tables. I am trying to use the MS Access front end to cooperate with the MySQL Backend database. I have created a system DSN, without problems.

My issue is when I Open MS Access --> Open File --> Files of Type: ODBC Databases, nothing happens. It does not give me the option to connect to the MySQL database I just created. I also tried to import data by linking tables (again, choosing the ODBC databases option), and it does the same thing. Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong?

MySQL Amd Access

Feb 7, 2006

I am building my frist database with MySQL as a backend to Access. I am using the ODBC driver and it looks very interesting. I have a question already though. I know that I can use the InnoDB engine and create relationships within MYSQL to enfro referential integirty, but should I? Or should I create the relationships in Access and let Access do the enforcing? Will my Access application report MySQL errors?

Thanks for the time.

Access V.S. MySQL

Apr 22, 2006

Hey, Just wanted to throw the question out there, I already asked another member on their opinion on this but havent heard anything back yet, so im going to also throw the quesation out here as well and see what i get. Im new to databases and started out trying to learn Access with the intention that what i learned in Access i could use to learn MySQL, I figured access was a easier starting point to get my feet wet. I eventaully want to apply my databases to the web and im not sure but just wanted to find out. Does access have capabilities to manage a site where customers create an account on the site and log in and everything?? I was thinking access cant really do it and if it could it might be hard, so thats why i was looking into MySQL. I guess what im really asking is whats the difference between Access and MySQL, and what advantages and disadvantages do they have?? Everybodys opinion is welcome, it all helps me out. Thanks! ~[MikE]~

Using Access As A Front End To MySQL

Sep 16, 2005

I have Microsoft Access on my desktop connecting to a MySQL database at my host, using an ODBC driver. I can read the data just fine. But when I try to add another record, it won't seem to do it.

Is it possible to update a MySQL database from MS Access on my desktop?

I have just one table. Very simple. Is it to do with primary key number generation or something?

Thanks,

Jon

Connecting To MySql From Access

Feb 26, 2006

Hi all,

hope someone can help me with this.

Before we moved webhosting company we could have external access to our MySql database which was great as our MS Access system would periodically pull data from our MySql site (namely customer enquiries which were entered via a form on our website) and dump them in our MS Access live quotes table all automatically.

With our current host (which seems to be the norm from my web-searches) they only allow local access to the MySql system.

My question is, how can I oversome this hurdle without having to move hosting company. I really don't want to move again as it's a real pain.

All suggestions welcome.

MS Access Distribution With MySQL Backend.

Feb 2, 2007

On my development machine everything works great, but I know that I'm going to run into problems with distribution.

I don't think there is a way, but I'll ask. Is there any way to get around not having to install the ODBC MySQL drivers on each computer? One of the reasons I'm migrating to MySQL for a backend is the fact that I'll be going from 10 users to 150 users, each of which has a "locked down" PC, which would mean logging into each with Admin rights to install the driver. Not an impossible task, but a pain.

Is is possible to have a "shared" source for the driver? I have only a rudimentary understanding of that process.

Thanks in advance for any help that someone can provide, or some answers pointing me in the right direction.

Front End = Access; Back End = MySql Problem

Mar 8, 2008

Hello

I“m working in an application using Access as FE and MySql as BE.

When I add some registers to this linked table, OK.

Problem: When I try to add a lot of registers (700.000!) it does“nt work and the msg is that the computer does“nt have memory resources to do the job.

If I try the same with Access tables it works fine.

MySql configuration, perhaps?

Thanks a lot

Using Access Form Fields In Pass-through Queries To MYSQL

May 9, 2005

I don't know if this is thebest place for this, but here goes....

I have an Access FE using MYSQL 4.1 BE. I have several forms and PassThrough queries (using MYSQL syntax not supported or available in Access).

How can I use form field values to use as criteria for these queries?

FOr example, in a pure Access database. I may have a form 'Employees' with a text box 'EmployeeName'. THen have a query....

SELECT * FROM tblEMployees WHERE EmployeeName = [Forms]![Employees]![EmployeeName]

If I were to add this variable to my pass-through queries, it errors. How can I do the same thing, passing my form fileds to an Access Query? I am trying to do this right in the SQL view of the queries, not in VBA or Macros or anything.

Thanks,
Scott

Looking Into MySql

Oct 28, 2005

I am just a guy in a cube that likes Access and have been able to make it do some great things but am by no means a programmer so...
It seems like the next step is to go with a SQL be and Access fe (network not internet applications) not that what I have isn't doing the job, I just want to swim with the other fish and not be left behind.
So if I could just download a program called SQL that would be great but there are various kinds? SQL Server, MySQL and who knows what else.
I don't know what my company will migrate to in the future (we are currently using A97 and upgrading to 03 soon) and most people here don't even know what a database is. I thought I'd give MySql 5.0 a look, dowloaded it and installed it (don't even know if I answered all the install questions correctly) and started it up and I felt like I was looking at a WordPerfect 5.1 screen all over again (blank blue screen and that was it for those who do not remember). All I saw was a command prompt with "mysql>" that's it.
Now I don't mind doing my reading but I'd just like to know I am going in the right direction before I spend all this time only to find out I should have gone another way.
Is there an easy start method or do I just have to bump and feel my way through all this?
It seems once you leave the calm cool shallow waters of Access you are suddenly faced with strange deep sea creatures called "Programmers".

MySQL & FindFirst

May 9, 2005

Hello,
I hope I have posted this to the correct forum?
Anyways, I have started porting my database backend to MySQL after a spate of corruptions and speed degrading daily, I have managed to get most things functional but one thing which I can not get working is an odd thing with the FindFirst statement.
I have the following line of code...

rst2.FindFirst "AwaitingStock=True and StockIn=False and DOA=False and Model='" & Trim(Me.Model) & "'"

which works find with Access backend but with MySQL I get the error...

Run-time error '3761':
The decimal field's precision is too small to accept the numeric you attempted to add.

This is obviously not the correct error as I am not trying to add anything!
If I remove the bit about the Model, the code executes fine, also, if I remove all the =True parts and just leave the Model part everything works fine so I guess it is because I am mixing string and integer fields in the search???

Any help greatly appreciated.


Kind regards,


Tom Findlay

MySQL Issue

Jul 18, 2005

I have a split db that is currently on our server. We loaded MySQL onto the server as well. I need to run the db from MySQL, and the person that was working this project before me is now gone. I have no idea where he left off, or what he did to get it to this point. When we try to open the db we get an error message that there is a connection problem with the ODBC. We've installed the most recent patches with no success. This may sound like a really stupid question, but do I need to run the upsizing wizard for this thing to work properly? Thanks for any help you can provide.

MySQL, PostgreSQL Or MSDE ?

Sep 8, 2005

Hello,

I'm considering using another database server (than Access). The application has more and more users so I would like to upgrade the server to a better DBMS in terms of robustness, security and performance.

The client will remain an access application.

I made my short list but it remains open to include another DBMS : MSDE, SQL server, MySQL, Postgres, ...

Do you have any information that could help me to make the best choice, such as :
- benchmark reports
- compare analysis
- case studies
- your opinion
...

Linking Access With Outlook

Jan 23, 2006

Hi

I wonder if someone could give me some advice.

I can create simple databases with Access but I've recently identified the need to create something a little more complex. My entire relational database revolves around a central table of contacts.

I have a list of contacts in MS Outlook (searchable by name, phone number, etc.), which should be the same. I want to avoid the risk of data redundancy so I was wondering if it is possible to link Outlook and Access databases in some way, so that, for example, if I was to add a contact in Outlook, it would update my database automatically and vice versa.

I'm sure this is far from simple but I'd love to hear any suggestions you may have.

Many thanks in advance

Gavin
