RE: [PHP-DB] How to link a MYSQL table to a dbase file

Can you use a cron (Unix) or at (Windows) job to dump the dbase data to a comma-separated-value table? Then suck up the csv into the mysql databasde. -----Original Message----- From: Marij Bellen [mailto:Marij.Bellen@centric.nl] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 8:37 AM To: 'php-db@lists.php.net' Cc: 'marijbellen@hotmail.com' Subject: [PHP-DB] How to link a MYSQL table to a dbase file How can I extract data for a mysql-table from a dbase file? This is the situation: 1) we have a dbase-file with data 2) the dbase-file is put on the server 3) we have a mysql-table that needs to get his data out of this dbase-file. How can I link this mysql-table to this file! !!note: ------- I don't mean how I can put the data of the dbase-file into the table, but the table should be linked to the dbase file to get its data! Background: ----------- we want to upload a file with data from our own local database each night to our internet-mysql-database. In MS-access such a file is called a 'external table.' If this isn't possible and we don't have the ability to use the php-dbase-functions (because of our provider), is there another solution to get the data from the dbase-file automatically in the mysql-database? Can you help me!! Thanks. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
