Can I use MS Access to build an online database?
If I use Access to build a fairly large database and upload it to a website, do I still have to learn SQL and all that? I'm sure SQL and other languages would help with making it fancier maybe, but are they completely and totally NECESSARY to having a functional database on a website?
The database is an MMO database to provide information for gamers.

Without SQL how are you intending to use the data in the database? You can not use VBA to do it on a web based database. So you might as well use SQL Server or MySQL.

Technically yes, you can use MS Access as your back end database but you will still need to know the SQL language in order to store and retrieve the data in your web application. MS Access is only good for low-traffic websites really, it's better to use MySQL.
