    Personally, I like the fact that Access was brought up. Simple fact is, if you wouldn't use Access for your project, you shouldn't be using MySQL either.

    Access = MySQL with more features, but slower.
    MySQL = Access, but is faster and has far fewer features.

    In a nut shell, don't use MySQL if you wouldn't use Access!!
