Re: A few newbie questions

[Jon Stephens]

MySQL supports multiple users whose privileges you can specify.

You should be able to export from Access to CSV or similar, and import this into MySQL.

After that, it shouldn't be too difficult to write a front end to this using PHP, Python, or whatever.

The latest MySQL 8.0 or 8.4 release should work fine for something like this. You can obtain installers for Community (free to use) releases for Windows, Mac, Linux from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/.

For documentation, see https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/.
