I know very little about Progress, but...
I have managed to get PHP http://www.php.net talking to both MySQL and Progress 8.3
using the openlink drivers
http://www.openlinksw.com
Using the functions from within php you can extract information about tables and then
build create statements and then transfer the
data.
It works very well.
You could also write some kind of script that would convert a progress .df file into
true SQL TABLE statements.

Pass. Although Progress do have a product that talks to ODBC data source (which would
include MySQL).
Hope this helps.
