Re: Migrating from CF4.5+WinNT to CF5(or MX)/Linux
Well folks, I'm a bit stuck with retrieving data from a mySQL-datasource which was exported from ms-access via a little nifty utility called MyAccess. The problem is that the text in the db has german special characters. Since I exported the data to mySQL I'm able to retrieve all the data but the special-chars are shown as symbols 'n' stuff. I took textpad and looked into the data-files mySQL generates for the datasource and they do contain the german chars. Any help out there? Patric PS> Hi Jerry, PS> thanks for your reply.

I've done this on 5 projects, now. The three things that bit me repeatedly: Boolean types in Access were not the same in mySQL. Went with int (1/0). Filenames are case sensative all of a sudden. We thought we had followed good naming conventions. We had, but not perfectly! Most significant were image files and rollovers. Moving the dbs was interesting, making sure the dbs were ported in the correct order. (constraints forced the proper sequence) But it really wasn't very difficult.

Migrating from CF4.5+WinNT to CF5(or MX)/Linux
Hi fellows, i looking for some advice on migrating websites of one of my customers from windows to linux. The customers has it's own CF4.5Pro-Server and 'cause he switched his entire office to linux he's also chenging the webserver to linux with apache. The nice thing is, that is will purchase/update to CF5 or MX. Now my question is will the applications i wrote under Windows+Access run under Linux+MySQL without bigger problems??? i have a event-calendar-app which will probably make no trouble. but i have a little shopping-cart-like app with session-vars and a full-text-search with verity. So if anyone can share experience i would be really glad for any input! TIA -- Patric Stumpe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Your ad could be here.
