You may need to tweak create statements for datatypes and syntax, though; it may be easier to just recreate the emtpy tables by hand. I think I also have vague memories of an option to use ANSI-SQL standard syntax, although that might just as well have been some third-party tool. And, speaking of third-party tools: tOra can (if well-compiled) be used to manage both MySQL and Oracle; maybe that nice tool can help you. -- Bier met grenadyn Is als mosterd by den wyn Sy die't drinkt, is eene kwezel Hy die't drinkt, is ras een ezel
