> > > Hello, > > I have tried and i have failed. I am trying to help out a non-profit site in their move. The old site had a forum run by MDB and in the transfer as you know...it won't work. I have used PHPBB and I like it and want to use it. We need to convert the MDB to SQL. I have DL 2 converters...and MySql......again I have failed. The database is almost 9 meg. I need someone that can convert this for me and then explain how to upload since it is so big. I have read you cannot to it thru the web/mysql? > > Any help...guidance....PLEASE! > I'm not familiar with MDB but I'm assuming that it is some kind of database, like DB2 or Oracle. Does MDB have any kind of export facility? All of the good databases - and even a lot of lousy ones - have some way to convert the database format into one or more text files. There might be a single file for all of the data or a separate file for each table in the database. If MDB has such a facility, you can almost certainly use MySQLs import facilities to convert the export files from MDB into MySQL tables. Does MDB have some kind of export capability? If you don't know, can you point me to where the MDB documentation is located online and perhaps I can figure it out for you. Rhino -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
