I've been using Access for a very long time.
But, now, when I read about database management I am a bit confused now. Maybe things are different now then they were before.
Just looking for the basics.
First, (I'm using MySql as an excample) MySql isn't a Datrabae Management System, right?? It's simply a programming language to manipulate the data and datatypes in tables??
But, my confusion lies in what to call the actual program that one uses to create forms and reports for viewing the data.
I seem to be seeing the term Database Management System.
One wouldn't call MySql a Database Management System. Right?
Although I searched the web for "Database Management System" and MySQL was listed as one on one of the hits.
I have the data I use in access separate form my forms and reports and the like.
Please explain the terminlogy for me.
Thanks,
James
