Hi,
I'm completely new to MySQL and some of its concepts, therefore, these questions may be very basic.
To connect to another database format I need the ODBC driver for that other format - right?
I've built a repair job entry database on my Palm with HanDBase 3.0. I also got the HanDBase ODBC Driver v3.0. I tried to connect my desktop database program Paradox to it but there are some issues which seem to be unsolvable. I tried to connect to the .pdb (HanDBase) tables with Excel - that worked. Presumably, this indicates that the HanDBase ODBC driver is doing its job.
What I would like to do is to copy the .pdb tables into MySQL tables and then work with these MySQL tables on the desktop. I searched hi and lo but all the connection related info seems to be about other database programs connecting to MySQL but I could not find any info about how MySQL connects to other database formats.
It doesn't. Use Access to export them to csv. Load the csv files into MySql.
Thanks for any help with this.
