Does anyone have any good code examples? The hardest thing for people like=
=20
Steve, and myself, is that the documentation for these items are very=20
limited and not very revealing to newbies. For instance, I could not find a=
=20
single code example for connecting to a SQL database, let alone Access, in=
=20
the Pickaxe book. So if anyone has any good code examples for manipulating=
=20
data in Access or MySQL, I would like to see it here.

Thanks.
