access for wordpress

[julian]

I am a complete newb when it comes to wordpress - i just downloaded 2.7 and set it up on domain with mysql all working fine.

Is there an option to use an access db instead damed if i can find it

many thanks

I've done quite a few and had to dig for lots of fixes etc but WordPress is Mysql driven and will never work with Access. IMO ....but sure i'll be proved wrong in time

Why do you want it ran through Access is it the amount of DB you can have and are usually restricted to a hand full?

WP will only work with MySQL. Unless you are a real hacker ;-)

thanks.

interesting so just wondering if anyway to sort of reverse hack the schema from mysql and rebuild it to a acccess db...

anyway looks like i'll have to bin wordpress then - dont like using mysql

There was plans for a ASP varient of word press but It never really got off the ground, but there maybe a mssql hack on the wordpress forums.

The technical pairing will always asp-access/ms sql.

There are some issues with syntax for mssql and mysql that would need you would have re-write every query to make sure its compatible.
