This would not be advisable, since this would, in all likelihood, violate
ANSI SQL.  Since the product is using brackets to enclose tables, I would
guess that the database they use is really Microsoft Access.  Knowing that,
you might want to try and go into the actual database, create a link to a
MySQL table, then tell Alpha Five to use the linked table, letting the ODBC
driver translate the Access query into something that MySQL can understand.
