you can do that in sql too. make a query or report etc.. save for re-use. you wouldn't have to export and use excel.

sql is easy stuff.. at least at this level of use.. syntax may be slightly differnet, but same same logic as what you are using in excel.

edit: lol it is in the dB, nevermind.. leaving the above to look stupid anyway...

what's wrong with mysql intallation? check mysql.ini?

a good all-in-one that comes wokrign out of the box is mariadB and i use a free heidi-sql for a front end. setup differnet users for access to different dB, or at least i like to.. keeps 'tree' view clean.
