DBMS like Access

[corkys]

I need to develop a relational database application like one can do with Microsoft Access, but do not want to start on something that I cant even install. Does anyone use a system like that on Hostgator (and what is it please)?
Thanks in advance,
Corky

mysql , it the only one Hostgator offers, I believe. It's probably the most popular, and best supported database used in web applications. It's already installed with HG. A good place to start would be mysql.com. As far as administering a mysql database, the most popular method is phpmyadmin, which is also already installed with Hostgator as well.

If I'm not understanding you correctly, please clarify.

Thanks fo rthe reply,
Mysql is a bit too low level for what I am looking for - I am looking for a product that sits on top of mysql that provides form support and triggers and reports etc.

I'm not sure what you mean by form support and reports, or that it sits on top of mysql. For my high-end database needs, I use Postgresql, it has triggers, functions, foreign keys, views and referncial integrity. But is not offered by HostGator. (www.postgresql.org)
