First off i am a newbie, so forgive any repatition and ideocy. Ok i am trying to evaluate MySQL, i have a Mssql database which has been specifically generated by my company. Therefore i have a ddl file which will generate the tables, database name and relationships. I have poked around mysql and the help file to get a feel for it, so i can make a databse and put tables in etc. Ok now for the serious stuff, i need to ask a few questions.
1) How can i port the database i have to MySQL?? 2) Could i generate the Database by tweeking the DDL file and run it using a batch command? What sort of tweek to the file would i need.? 3) Is there an ODBC connector so that i could get a reporting tool to access the MySQL database? (reporting tool is crystal reports). I am sure there will be plenty more questions to bug you all with but this is enough to start with.
