[thelist] Access to MySQL conversion

Get MySQL-Front.  It totally rocks.  You can export your table from Access
into a text file and then import it with MySQL-Front.  This program will
save you enormous amounts of time if you aren't familiar with using SQL
commands.

Hi

can anyone point me to tried and tested methods/software/tutorials
for upgrading from Access to MySQL? (preferably freeware or open
source)

I found this:


http://www.mysql.com/portal/software/html/index.html

which is where I found this:

http://www.mysql.com/portal/software/html/software_comments-23.html

a freeware GUI front end

and this:

http://www.mysql.com/portal/software/html/software_comments-98.html

which in its demo form will create a MySQL database copy of an
Access database with all tables (but only 5 records per table - see
the above app, which will import the rest!)


Just wondered about any others you might have used.

TIA
