    MS Access to MySQL

    Anyone know of a program for linux that can read MS Access databases and convert them to MySQL databases, or at least just view the database? I have an Access db in .mdb format, and want a quick way to view all the data in it as i'm convertin it to a MySQL db with a php front end.

    You'll need to export it as a SQL statement that includes both data structure as the data. Then you can use something like: MySQL admin, found in Webmin, and upload and run the SQL statement on MySQL, creating the database, the structure and importing the data.
    Just don't know how to create that using Access.
    Check de MS Developer site for info on that..
