Setting up a Chemical database

2005-04-04 Thread Dave Shariff Yadallee - System Administrator a.k.a. The Root of the Problem
I have a customer who has sent my close to 300 chemical products
in word format?  How do I translate this into mysql tables?

One table should be sufficient to handle this with one record for each
product.

I'm afraid we can't tell you anything with virtually no information given by 
you. What is a product? Which are the informations you want to hold about a 
product? How do they relate to each other? What is the purpose of the 
database? Which sort of informations are people supposed to get out of it?
If you answer these questions for yourself, the design should become visible. 
If any doubts, ask, but please be specific.

P.S: If interested, the ER diagram of a chemical database can be found here:

But chemical is a wide field ...

Dave,

I have a customer who has sent my close to 300 chemical products
in word format? How do I translate this into mysql tables?

Save it from Word as comma- or tab-delimited, create a MySQL database
 table, use ODBC Admin to create a DSN for that database, open the
MySQL database in Access, in the Access database window click Tables on
the Objects bar, select Get External Data from the File menu, click
Import.
