Hi Machiel, I'm not sure if you like the method I use for Export from Oracle to MySQL databases:
You need an ODBC DSN for each, source and destination DB. Then you create an empty Access Database with a link to the Oracle Source table. If the destination MySQL table doesn't yet exists, you can export the linked oracle table directly into the existing ODBC-DSN of the MySQL DB. If (later on) the destination MySQL table exists, you can create an Add-Query that inserts selected rows from the Oracle table to the end of the MySQL table. These actions could be placed into macros (Access 'autoexec' for example) and in scheduled jobs of your operating system (I hope it's Windows, because you didn't say anything about that). If you don't like the Access built-in Visual Basic language, you can use any other programming language that has components to access to ODBC databases like Borland/Embarcadero C++Builder/Delphi or Microsoft Visual C++ etc. Hope this helps.
