This is the MySQL page:
http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/migrating-from-microsoft.html

I thought that maybe one of the Php guys might have already written a script
that will do this. I thought I'd ask because I don't think that it would be
worth it for me to do the research on how to make a script to do this,
because I don't really foresee needing it in the future (in spite of the
fact that I can use it now) , and also for the fact that I'm sure that some
Php 'er' has done it already by now. I just don't know where to find it.

Thanks
