SQL-Script Interpreter
- Type: Interpreter for an SQL-based scripting language
- Description: Empty Access application (*.mdb) that allows users to execute SQL scripts on any database. Includes a simple dialog box with two buttons: select a script file and execute it. For information, MS Access provides two ways to execute SQL statements: as Access queries (simple but single queries only) and embedded in VB programs (powerful but complex). This tool allows one to execute in one click a script made up of a sequence of SQL statements, but also much more complex scripts with variables, macros, loops, alternatives and interaction with users.
- Requirements: Microsoft Access

- Status: ongoing
- Availability: available online
