I am trying to learn SQL. Can you use instructions from an SQL book in
Access 2003 without having to install MySQL? Thank you.

Most of the basic sql examples should work. You can fire up the query
builder, and graphically create sql (that is what most of us do).

You can also hit the SQL button in the query designer, and type raw sql
directly into the window. This is not exactly the same as a command prompt
in MySql, but it is somewhat similar.

So, you can expose the sql used in ms-access, and you can type in sql
directly into the query builder..but, few of us approach tings that way when
you can sit back, relax, and use a mouse + drag and drop to create the sql
without typing in the commands directly....
