Currently supports Access and Oracle. Perhaps this is an indication of where MySQL thinks the competition is: at the two extremes of the market, the big corporate back end and the desktop. I've just watched the <a href="http://www.mysql.com/products/migration-suite/tutorials/AccessMigrationTutorial.html">demo of an Access migration</a>, and it looks really smooth. I used to use <a href="http://www.mysqlfront.de/">MySQL-Front</a> to migrate Access to MySQL, when MySQL-Front was freeware and before it turned commercial. Between these two states, development halted altogether, and the product went out of step with MySQL versions. I learned an important lesson about proprietary software when this happened, leaving me stuck with a version which wouldn't work with my version of MySQL: I vowed never to use proprietary software again for anything important.</p> http://www.townx.org/blog/elliot/mysql_migration_suite#comments Wed, 20 Apr 2005 13:47:00 -0500 elliot 112 at http://www.townx.org
