Post Post subject: MS Access to Mysql Reply with quote

Ladies and Gentleman,

Does any one know the easiest way to convert an MS Access database into a MYSQL one?

Criteria: The mysql is on a unix server running apache. So the solution has to be perl or php based. Or do it on a local machine and then upload. Any clues?

Dear DK,

Thanks for the links. I have been too busy to try them.

From my own research, I found that to do this the easiest way is when you can use ODBC. If you can use ODBC in the server then do the following:

1-Create an empty database in MySQL
2-Catalog MySQL database in ODBC
3-Export from Access, for every Access table, select the table, right-click and select Export then pick ODBC database (Save As Type...) , select ODBC entry you create at step 2 and voila!

Very easy. The problem is, most web servers usually, do not let you create ODBC connections, unless you are using a real expensive host. If you have to do without ODBC then I guess the easiest way is to export the access file as comma seperated text file and then import that by using a little php script. This I found from one of your links.

I have yet to try the programs. I will let you know when I do.
