<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi Ben,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">You can setup MySQL servers on non IOS devices very easily – WAMP or XAMP will do the job, they just install like a normal program and then run Apache, MySQL and PHP services for you. You can then teach the students
basic SQL. They pick it up much more easily than I expected when I experimented with it in class.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">You can run the whole thing off a usb if you want to.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">To shortcut having to teach them a great deal of PHP syntax to interact with the database use the freebie version of PHP Generator form the SQL Maestro group (<a href="http://www.sqlmaestro.com/products/mysql/phpgenerator/">http://www.sqlmaestro.com/products/mysql/phpgenerator/</a>),
it will do most things the Pro version will do as far as students need (I’ve been using to rapid develop applications for school – it’s quite easy and powerful)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">If you have an existing Access database you want to quickly upload to MySQL with foreign keys etc intact then you can use AccessMySQL convertor from Bullzip (freebie too)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I believe there is now an app for IOS to manage MySQL but I don’t think you can do any setup. That said PHPMyAdmin is very easy to use and there is no end of support for it on the net.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I think it’s a good idea to start students on something that is very real world and translates to technologies they will encounter down the track that integrate with a whole host of web technologies like JQuery
etc etc<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Later on if you have students come back to Access it’s trivial to get Access to talk to MySQL so it incorporates a remote table with two way data writing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Be brave give it a go!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
