I would like to have a tool with which I can easily develop(dragNdrop) front-end for mysql table and publish it to web. I am not sure whether I can try oracle forms, as my database is MySQL. Even if I can use Oracle forms to connect to MySQL, I would like to know any other third party tool which can do the job easily & quickly.
I have used MySQL front for this before which I prefer comparing to phpmyadmin and such, found it at http://www.brothersoft.com/mysql-front-80299.html. I recommend it.

So I learned how to write data to a MySQL-database and how to read from it, too, using ODBC and in one case Lotus Script using ADODB, in the other case Formula Language using #DbLookup.
So since I try to get away from our huge mass of Lotus Notes Databases my first goal would be to get all this information into a MySQL, so I can work through the databases more slowly to not create a huge cut. But of course we also need views. So is there a way to create a view in Lotus Notes that uses data from a MySQL-Database? Or would I have to still store the data in Notes and additionally in the MySQL-Database to do that?
There's a feature like that for DB2, but not for MySQL or any other database.
The best you can do is use synchronization tools like IBM Enterprise Integrator for Domino or one of the many available third-party alternatives.
No, that is not possible without duplicating the data from MySQL as Notes documents.
Is there currently anything in the 2sxc module that allows you to connect to other database types? Specifically I would like to connect to a MySQL database. I know you can connect to other tables within the database.
This depends a bit on your question. Let's split
Can you use Razor-Views in 2sxc to visualize data from any kind of database?
Yes, just use c# code to get the data. Just create the sql-objects or whatever in .net and use that. For example, I wrote about using PetaPoco http://2sxc.org/en/docs/docs/feature/feature/2583
Can you use non-sql-data in your Visual Query Designer
Yes, but you'll have to work a bit. The easiest way is to map your my-sql tables in the DNN SQL server. This is a bit like a translation layer, which then let's use use them as if they were in the SQL Server.
A harder way is to create your own data source. Best to inherit the SqlDataSource (which provides a lot of security around parameter injection etc.) https://github.com/2sic/eav-server/blob/master/ToSic.Eav.DataSources/SqlDataSource.cs - and then modify it to use your mysql
I am recreating an old database that's in MS Access with company data, contacts, conventions etc. but I have never done something like this. In the past few days I learnt to use MS Access and started recreating the tables to fit third form, creating table relationships etc.
But I got stuck when I started searching for a program/programs that could help me create an easy to use visual input form like in MS Access sparing me from having to delve into SQL and HTML.
I am not a native english-speaker so I couldn't really word what I wanted sufficient enough to find related google hits, I have found applications like Aptana Studio, Heidi SQL, Dreamweaver and so on. My question is, is there a program where I can manage the tables inside the database, create forms to input data with, all (if possible) wih a drag-and-drop designer?
I would be grateful for any number guides you guys have links for, because I just couldn't find what I wanted (possibly because of my still lacking programming expertise). Any guides touching on the topic of how to create input sites with HTML/CSS for an SQL database would also helpful if it's not possible to do without using these languages.
Thank you in advance.
Visual Studio, with SQL Server, has all of the features that you are asking for. There are free versions of both, but with limitations.
You can also use a Java and MySQL solution. To manage the database, use MySQL Workbench. For an IDE that has a drag-and-drop designer, use either NetBeans or Eclipse. For more information on either, google "Netbeans form designer" or "Eclipse form designer."
For creating and managing databases you can use the "Sql Server management studio" itself.
If you have MS office, you can use "InfoPath" to create forms and connect them to the Sql Server database. Check this link out which shows how to do it :

I have an ACCESS database(.accdb) with tables, forms, queries, reports , modules and microsoft access class objects(VBA code). Now the requirement is to shift from access to optional database. The options that I could find by browsing are using either MySQL or SQL Server. As of now, I would like to use Access as front end to any back end database. I would like to know more detailed information regarding migration from Access to optional database. Can anyone please help me or point me to good resources.
I've used SQL Server as a backend for an Access front-end app in the past with pretty decent success. You can use the SQL Server Migration Assistant wizard to migrate the data from an Access Database to a SQL Server database.
Performing a quick search for "using SQL Server database as back-end for MS Access" will yield a number of resources on things to consider and do. You can also refer to this SO Question Can a Microsoft Access Forms application be switched to work with a SQL back end? for additional insight.
My experience has been pretty positive with this sort of migration, but it really depends upon how you've designed and constructed the application. It could be a very simple migration (a few hours to tweak and test things) to a much larger effort on your part to make sure everything works as expected.
You can use SQL Server (Express) as backend using export data from Access Menu. If you will use MySQL some features like auto_increment fields don't work fine and it will need to write VBA code to work as expected.
I have a database (mdb file) that I am currently busy with. I would like to know if it is possible to generate MySQL code that would be used to create this database?
There are a couple of tools you can look at to try to do the conversion.
DataPump
Microsoft DTS (Nos Called SQL Server Integration Services)
Other option might be generate MySQL code from Access' DB MetaData you can access from JDBC, ODBC, ADO.NET or any other database access technology with metadata support. For this option you need to generate a piece of code (script). So it will only make sense if your access DataBase has a lot of table with a lot of columns or if you are planning to do this task several times.
Of course, using one of the mentioned tools will be faster if it works.
You can certainly write DDL to create and populate a MySQL database from the work that you've already done on Microsoft Access. Just put it in a text file that you execute using MySQL batch and you're all set.
If you intend to keep going with developing both, you'll want to think about how you'll keep the two in synch.
