At the moment I use a PC and I'm thinking of buying a MacBook Pro. Is there a Mac equivalent to Microsoft Access? I mainly use Access as a quick way of generating SQL strings.
Thanks

Here's another program that allows you to generate SQL strings. They have a Mac version.

Also, there's a beta of Parallels Virtualization, which will allow you to run Windows XP while still booted in OS X. That gives you another option.
And another handy site:

Using Access to generate SQL strings is kind of like using a pile driver to open walnuts, isn't it? ![Big Grin](https://forums.macnn.com/images/smilies/oldschool/biggrin.gif) I agree with Spliff about the freeware, but going to the trouble of running a VM just to create SQL strings sounds like getting a bigger pile driver to me.
