Create the web2py code needed to access your mysql legacy db. To make this work all the legacy tables you want to access need to have an "id" field.
This plugin needs: mysql mysqldump installed and globally available. Under Windows you will probably need to add the mysql executable directory to the PATH variable, you will also need to modify mysql to mysql.exe and mysqldump to mysqldump.exe. Just guessing here :) Access your tables with: legacy_db(legacy_db.mytable.id>0).select() If the script crashes this is might be due to that fact that the data_type_map dictionary is incomplete. Please complete it, improve it and continue. download http://jaguar.biologie.hu-berlin.de/~fkrause/web2py.plugin.legacymysql.w2p screenshot http://jaguar.biologie.hu-berlin.de/~fkrause/screenshot_legacymysql.png
