Well, I finally decided to go for Navicat, at an educator's discount of
$75. It has a query builder screen, similiar to MS Access's QBE screen,
a table edit screen, so I don't have to use SQL TABLE or INSERT
statements, and an im****t wizard (with which I am still having a
teeny-tiny technical glitch im****ting date fields, but that's another
story), which saves me the trouble of learning how to im****t data using
the command line.
Navicat is a good piece of software, and a bargain to boot, considering
that MS Access is $200. I heartily recommend it.
Thanks for all the input.
Sincerely,
