Hello:
Am about to sign up for an on-line database course (introductory)
Apparently, one must have on their PC for the course either
Access
postgre
mysql
Am really new at this.
Access is a problem, as the package costs is $200.00 Wow !
I downloaded postgre, but I am a bit stumped on
what to do next.
The problem is I'm totally unfamiliar with ftp downloads.
There are a bunch of folders.
What do I open, or do next, please, to get started ?
I would like to evaluate postgre and mysql before the course actually
starts.
Also: what are the major differences between all 3 packages ?
Which would be easiest to learn for a true database beginner ?
Should perhaps I go with Access despite the cost ? Is it "easier", or are
the screens and interface 'better" ?
Want to learn one database fairly well, as I think it's something I should
know, and would also look good on a job resume.
Thanks,
Bob
lease, to get started
