Re: Newbie with lots of questions

I googled "mysql front-end for Linux"
First hit was Navicat, so you could try that.
But there are many more.

Basically you're going to have to migrate your db to mysql or postgresql.
This is not too hard, and should be a forgiving process.  You may dump your
db into text format, then upload it into the new db (mysql?).  If you have
geographic data such as addresses, and you want to be able to map or query
based on geography, I'd recommend Postgresql with the PostGIS extension.
I've tried the open office 2.0 stuff and it does not work as well as mysql
(although, isn't it supposedly built on it?)

If you have a Mac, then I heartily recommend YourSQL as a front-end.

Good luck.
