Overwrite only if it exists HELP please!
I need to insert a phone number into a table. I would do this with the insert command except I think that it would create duplicate entries even though they are exactly the same is there a way that I can have it not enter the data if it exists already TIA Armando - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?

Overwriting records with matching fields with dbf2mysql
What would be the best way to do this because I am working on a mysql replacement to an old foxpro database and I can import the table once but I am worried that if I try to import it again it will make duplicate records. Another issue is that I have added an extra field to the table which is not in the original table but I would like to keep it preserved some how. Any help would be great.

Converting an old Foxpro dos database to mysql/php
I have an old database that is running on foxpro that is used for sales and order entry at my work and I was wondering how I would go about porting it to a *nix enviorment. The first step is the port the dbf files I think so I grabbed a copy of dbf2mysql and tried messing around with it and when I do I get an error like this: bash-2.05$ dbf2mysql CAT.DBF Table does not exist! What I would eventually like to do Is have mysql installed on a freebsd box at work and then have all the workstations that run windows be able to enter invoices from netscape or internet explorer over the lan. I would love if someone could point me in the right direction on where to get started and some interesting websites to read about this. I am a newbie with all this database stuff.
