Can someone help me find some articles that compare MySQL and Access? I need to prove to someone that MySQL totally blows away Access.
I should mention that the database will be used to host a forum. The forum is growing at a very fast rate
thanks

Learn some search tips, now you need them :D
1. Visit the provided URL (http://www.mssqlcity.com/Articles/Compare/SQLvsAccess.htm)
2. Press Control+F
3. Write "MySQL" (without quotes)
4. Press <Enter> Key
Have you found "MySQL" anywhere?

astraeuz,
I missed the my part, but still for once, instead of critisizing people, go do something productive.
bchawla, these might be of help ;
