- FlyingAvatar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Of course, be careful using MySQL in closed-source applications. Just using the client library in a non-OSS app requires the user of the software to buy a Commercial License to the tune of $600/per server/per year. The legality of developing in-house software (which is inherently closed-source) using MySQL without buying a Commercial License is hotly debated.
For this reason, the company I work for uses PostgreSQL. - codeNinja, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@FlyingAvatar
You mentioned that you use PostgreSQL, how do you like it compared to MySQL? - murph2481, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0MySQL has a migration toolkit in beta that works pretty well http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/migration-toolkit/1.0.html
- boske, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0haha, I had to convert it mysql using ODBC * XAMPP to run an apache / mysql server
Anyways cool shortcut - anti-net, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0cheers!!! this is very helpful for my school project :)
- gherikill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Too bad it doesn't convert all of the forms to php pages. Other wise this tool is pretty much the same as using myODBC and transferring the data over.
- peeptophe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Moving from Access to MySQL is like changing cars from a Pinto to a Yugo.
- holdemcharts, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If you want an alternative, SQL Anywhere actually has a tool to do it for you automatically.

Nice... - Discolicious, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've used DBTools in the past. Very nice application IMO.

- utch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thanks this is very helpful
- karangoyal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nice piece of software.
- fuzzboxer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Why not just use the Upsize feature built into Access? Point your Access tables to your SQL DB and follow the wizard. Works for me when converting them to MS SQL. No extra software required.
- fighto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wow.
I have to say, I have had to do this several time for clients. Its really annoying. Please dont use access! - davidpb145, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Just took some flat files I was working with and loaded them into Access 2000 real quickly.. then ran this software from the Access mdb file. It worked real nicely.. copied the tables and index files over without a problem.
- Veretax, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I might be wrong, but wasn't this already possibly to do on a server with a simple PHP script? Seems like I saw a script somewhere that would actually take the tables and stick them right into MySQL, but for some reason the site escapes me at present
