Hello,
Visual Basic is a programming language and Access a relational database management system then not really the same thing ;-))
Best regards "Pour trouver une solution à ses problèmes, il faut s'en donner la peine."

Yes, the answer is right but not complete:
VB is a programming language people can use it to write programs that create applications other users can use.
Those applications can store their data in Files or Databases which are more efficient applications for Data Management.
There different types of Database technologies the most widely used by large corporations are called Relational DB Management Systems like MS SQL, Oracle RDBMS, DB2 (IBM), etc. Access is a Database software but it's not Relational
and it's used by small businesses to store and manage their data.
Hope this helps.

Hello,

Access allows you to create a database programme with great functionality, but is restricted to what the access programme can support. Visual Basics allows you to create any type of programme you want with any functionality. .

Similarities: They both run on Windows.
Differences: Everything else.

When's the last time you compiled an application in Access, eh?

Reminds me of adodc, adodb something like that. sort of...


i dont know the right code for this thing. -_-


sort of..
// Load the ADODB code
require 'adodb/adodb.inc.php';

// Connect to the database
$conn = &ADONewConnection('mysql');
$conn->connect('localhost','phpgems','phpgems1','phpgems');

// Send a SELECT query to the database
$rs = $conn->execute('SELECT flavor, price, calories FROM _
ice_cream');

// Check if any rows were returned
if ($rs->RecordCount() > 0) {
print "<table>";
print "<tr><TH>Ice Cream Flavor</TH><TH>Price per Serving</TH><TH>Calories per Serving</TH></TR>";
// Retrieve each row
while (! $rs->EOF) {
print "<tr><TD>{$rs->fields[0]}</TD><TD>{$rs->fields[1]}</TD><TD>{$rs->f ields[2]}</TD></TR>\n";
$rs->MoveNext();
}
print "</table>";
} else {
print "No results";
}
