Transition from Access to MSSQL
Hi, I'm making a site (http://www.kunicki.info/RALLYSIM/, opinions valued ), and I have the basic design done, and am about to start writing the CMS. I don't have access to MSSQL at the moment, so I was going to use Access for development. I was just wondering, is the transition between Access and MSSQL pretty easy going? Any info on this is appreciated...

Thanks

Yes, you can.
1. Export the access database to a a tab delimited (or whatever delimited) file.

2. Import those data to MySQL database using MySQLFront

Right. But on the coding side of things, would I need to change any SQL query statements? Or just the connection string? (I'm using ASP)

Very Briefly answering your question
MS ACCESS is not SQL-92 complient.
So it wont support many advanced SQL feature or sub queries!
Example: MS ACCESS doesnt know what is "COMMIT" or ROLLBACK.

There are few more.

Going FROM Access to SQLServer, you shouldn't have any problems. You shouldn't have to re-write anything.

It's just a simple driver change in your connection string. If u need help with that, check out 4guysfromrolla.com
