Transferring Data 'Tween Databases

Posted by Hemos on from the moving-it-around dept.

Sysbotz writes "A common request our company gets is how to get data from Access, Paradox, or some other database format and transfer it to a MySQL database. Well we have written a article on how to do this. W accomplish this task by writing a PHP script to read a database file through ODBC and then to construct a SQL file of the data that can then be read into MySQL. I think some slashdotters would like this."

    You mean some kind of Open DataBase Connectivity?

    Or does ODBC not ring any bells?

    Java would have been a much better language if you wanted the project to be reusable.

    Gosh, with the Java/XML combo...I am surprised that there still is such a thang as a database. Dang, if you designed the blasted thang in UML with Java/XML there wouldn't even be a question of reusability...cause you would be in computer nirvana.

    PS: I don't code...just read the trade journals and play foosball.
