Re: From MS Access to MySQL
I have taken a Microsoft Access database and have basically copied the structure of it and rebuilt it in MySQL, however, I have encountered some problems with formatting of data. I need to ask what is the most suitable field type to use to retain the content from Access field types The MS Access fields are: Currency (formatted to £ with two decimal places e.g. £10.00) DECIMAL(nnn,2) You'll have to add your own signage ($,£, etc.) upon extraction. Currency (formatted to £#,##0.00;(£#,##0.00) Date/Time (with a Now() default) From the manual: The DATETIME type is used when you need values that contain both date and time information. MySQL retrieves and displays DATETIME values in '-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' format. The supported range is '1000-01-01 00:00:00' to '-12-31 23:59:59'. Yes/No enum() or set() Number (as a percentage) decimal() Number (with field size of Double and Decimal Places of 2) decimal() What would be the equivalent of the above for MySQL 5.1.35? If there isn't an equivalent for some, how can I work around it considering that the Access version of the database is already used in an ASP website? see: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/data-types.html --Curtis -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org

Newbie: Transitioning from MS Access to MYSQL
I am new to MYSQL and I want to set-up a database with two or more tables that need to be linked. I come from a basic MS Access background, and in Access linking two tables is done by creating a relationship. Is it done the same way in MYSQL? If so, could someone please shed some light on this matter? Is there a good MYSQL book out there for someone with my background? Thanks!

Help Transferring Data from MS Access to mySQL
I'm very new to mysql and haven't got much of a background in databases generally, so thanks in advance to any who have the patience to deal with my question. I'm trying to get data from ms access 97 to mysql by exporting to a text file then using the load data command to import it. The data in one of the fields contains all sorts of text, punctuation and formatting characters, even some html tags and linefeed characters (there's all kinds of crap in there). On export, ms access will put quotes around my large text field. I was hoping that mysql would accept everything inbetween the quotes as the field value, but it doesn't...it starts a new record with each linefeed character it encounters. I believe I read that I can change the record delimiter mysql uses from a linefeed to something else, but I don't seem to be able to do the same with the export in ms access (it will let me change the field delimiter but not the record delimiter). I've pretty much resigned myself to writing some kind of script to manually export these records using some kind of unique record delimiter, but I thought I'd check and see if anyone has any other better ideas on how to get my data transferred.
