Of course, you always could simply export all the data into

If you do this, I would use a character to delimit that does not occur
in the database, ie a pipe | (hex 7c i think) or a semicolon... that way
you won't lose as much data by creating extra fields whenever and
wherever there are commas,,, and tabs. ;)

Re: [luau] Access2000 Linux import
>From what I've found: http://www.kofler.cc/mysql/mysql2mysql.html This script converts MS SQL Server 7/2000 to mysql. As mentioned you can import an access 2000 db into sql server by downloading the trial version of sql server. Found on the PHP builder message boards: "Just download MyODBC from www.mysql.com Then open your Access2000 and export data. Select ODBC databases from the "Save-As-Type" dropdown-list and select your MySQL database (if you have given it a Windows DSN name - if not create a new one) Good luck. Don

Brian- I am a minority owner of a company that does exactly what you described. They are developing and selling database packages (PostgreSQL + PHP) which can import Access 2000 files. If you couldn't find a local consultant, perhap you can give them a call. However, they can only take relatively big jobs. Person to contact: Mr. Barry Liou, President, IDPoints, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [luau] Access2000 Linux import
Probably the easiest way would be to register the access database as an odbc datasource. You can then either use the web scripting language of your choice to make a web front end, or use the scripting language of your choice to pull out the data and stuff it into a mysql db or something of that nature. Of course, you always could simply export all the data into csv or tab-delimited files and import.

Probably the easiest way would be to export the data to Microsoft SQL syntax, then do some manual regex conversion of that text to get it into PostgreSQL or MySQL syntax. Ryan Shrout, owner of AMDMB needed to do just this a while ago when he converted from Windows 2000, IIS web server, MSSQL and ColdFusion to LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP), so I know this is very possible. A few months ago I remember seeing an option in Microsoft SQL 2000's Enterprise Manager that will easily import or export this type of data between Access and MSSQL Server. I haven't used MSSQL for a few months now, so I don't remember what this tool is called. You could either use the Microsoft SQL 2000 120-day demo in order to help convert the data, or perhaps Access 2000 has its own "export to SQL" option. There may also be Open Source tools that can input Access databases. I will search around. > > 2) IF it is posible, is there a way to > build a Web base front end for the Database, and >3) Are there any local > consultants that are intrested in working on this project? > > Thanks, > Brian Definitely. There are many local people that can do this well. I personally don't have the time (and I would be very slow at doing it), but contact me directly and I'll have some recommendations for people who could possibly do the job within a day or two.
