Ok, I purchased a book called SQL in a nutshell, and programming php made by the same company. Does SQL use microsft access to access the data file. or is using access a seperate way to access a data file? Does SQL have its own file that you create? or do you purhase it? I'll stop with the questions here, and wait to ask some more after I figure these answers out. Thanks.

I would go to the above link and do some reading. Mysql is completely independant of access. It creates its own files.

SQL is structured query language - used to talk to databases. MySQL, Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL, Oracle are all database servers which understand SQL. You'll notice that although there is a standard for SQL most database servers have added bits to their implementation so a query which works in Access may not work in MySQL.
