Write a blog entry about your experience. Did it work? What problems did you have? What do you know about MySQL, ODBC, Excel and Access and what have you learned about those technologies? (value 1 point, individual 1 point).
The videos made the process very easy. Props to POD for creating such succinct and easy to follow how-to guides. I did get it to work, although with a little difficulty (the server address on the moodle instructions had a space in it, took me a while to figure that one out!!).
I know/think that MySQL is a database framework (is that right?) or atleast what Databases are created on (and is different to Oracle SQL in syntax but not conceptually). ODBC from what I understand is the middle man between the actual database and 3rd party applications (such as Excel and Access). ODBC allows such applications to access the tables of the database through the ODBC.
