Please help 1. I have a table called as bookmaster in sql server 7.0 (NT) with vb as the frontend situated locally ( DELHI ). Any updations ( insert mostly ) on this table should have a corresponding change incorporated in mysql (Linux) which is in US. This is required since we do not want to input data again into bookmaster in mysql. We are using mysql for accessing data via a portal site 2. If there is not direct interface then can you suggest any utility that is available or that can be developed which would do a bulk copy at the end of the day. I.e I do a bcp of bookmaster from sql7.0 and then transfer the same into mysql via some utility, basis your suggestion Balaji
