RE: Import from Quicken 2004 Mac?
I don't think I have ever heard of anyone directly importing a QIF into any relational database, you would have to translate the resulting data into a delimited txt file and then import. You may want to check to see if Quickbooks has an API that you can use to access the data natively rather than trying to move it around from platform to platform. -Original Message- From: Jan Steinman [mailto:j...@bytesmiths.com] Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2011 2:37 PM To: David Brian Chait Cc: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: Re: Import from Quicken 2004 Mac?

We don't need a complete duplicate, but in my experience, it's easier to get it all and winnow out the bits you don't want than to selectively import. That said, we really only need the basic transaction info: date, payee, amount, memo, category, account from, account to. This is to reconcile the chart of accounts (in Quick Books) with project management (in MySQL).

RE: centos server's mysql version's problem
Just so I am clear here, you have 8 different DB servers hosting the same data that is being accessed and potentially modified simultaneously? You may want to consider the replication issues involved in that sort of arrangement with mysql. Aside from that, I am currently hosting an 18gb mysql database that is passing roughly 6gb/hr without any issue utilizing a single Dell R710 and mysql 5.0.77. Your mileage may differ based on the low end hardware/storage that you plan to use, the number of writes and the amount of data that you can cache in memory.

RE: Replacing MS SQL with MySql
No, what he is suggesting is that you use Access or MSSQL, and link Mysql to either platform via ODBC so that you can use it indirectly. All databases are not the same in terms structure and capabilities..you most likely will not be able to swap one out for another and make it work directly with your app. If there is an absolute requirement to use Mysql then you may be better off finding a different front end software that supports it, if not then embrace the fact that you will in all likelihood be maintaining a MS DB server for it. Not that it is such a bad thing, most corporate environments are heterogeneous these days, not geared toward one platform vs. another. -David -Original Message- From: Y z [mailto:yan...@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2011 8:32 AM To: vegiv...@tuxera.be Cc: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: RE: Replacing MS SQL with MySql Thanks. The developer cheerily informs me that Access is 'deprecated' and will be phased out. So, SQL it is. I'm not sure what you mean by 'passthrough'. Do you mean MYSQL | ODBC | Win app ? If so, where do I go to learn how to configure MySQL and ODBC to dance together nicely, and talk to the app? Thanks! No way to do that directly; however, using the MySQL ODBC connector you can get at least a) and c) to play passthrough. Performance will likely suffer, though; especially Access' Jet Engine has a tendency to pull in full remote datasets instead of passing through the query.
