    Moving Backend to Oracle or MySQL

    Hello! I want to move my backend tables Oracle and MySQL - Does anyone have a recommendation which platform works better regarding the conversion of the tables and linking to the Access front end? Thank you!

    once youve converted, you can change the links to the new backend and it will be seamless.
    If you change the table names in the new backend, (this has happened to me) ,youd have to
    relink each table ,1 by 1 to the backend. The frontend names remain the same so you dont loose queries or programming.

    I also had code to swap out from Oracle/SQL BE to Access and back, depending on the need. (testing or other)
    A button would relink them to Oracle, or relink to Access on demand.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
