Whether it's organising your research data or providing an online membership system the open source relational database MySQL is a fast, reliable and robust tool capable of handling the task. We combine the speed and power of MySQL with the versatility of PHP/Perl programming to deliver online and offline database solutions which are truly cross-platform.

Since MySQL is a command-line database it is optimised to work with network programming interfaces, which makes it an ideal choice for any web project. If you would like to migrate an existing Microsoft Access database to MySQL in order to integrate it into a web application we can help.

If your office network uses Microsoft Access you can still take full advantage of the power of MySQL since MySQL is fully ODBC compliant and can therefore be implemented using Access as the graphical interface. So you can, if required, run your database online with MySQL and connect to it from your office network with Access as the front-end.

Amongst the range of services we offer in building a database-driven application are:

• Data & column typing
• Column indexing
• Query optimisation
• Securing data directory access
• Securing network access
• Table repair & maintenance
• User account management
• Log file administration
• Database backups
• Server tuning

For heavy transaction-based web development we can also work with PostgreSQL.
