Re: Converting Databases

Simple solution, if you only have one or two tables: dump them in comma delimited format and then use the LOAD command from the MySQL shell frontend. Alternative: use the MySQL ODBC component and export from access to that (it works like a charm if you use the latest version). Either way should make it quite easy. Hope this helps!
