yoursurrogategod Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Or how about converting CSV to MySQL? I figured out how to get a CSV file out of my Access database.

cpd Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 You can import CSV files using phpmyadmin if you've got it installed on your server.

DavidAM Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I just loaded an ODBC driver for mySql, then linked the mySql tables into Access and ran INSERT queries to transfer the data. Of course, I had to create the mySql tables manually, first.

yoursurrogategod Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Ok, I had this figured out for a few days, but forgot about this thread. Basically my problem was that when I exported the CSV and tried to import it into MySQL, phpMyAdmin would bomb (Internal Server Error, that was all the information). Very weird. However, there were over 614,000 records (lots). So, I did something different, I split up the info into smaller pieces and inserted it in smaller pieces (did 400,000 at a time). That worked. Thanks guys for your help. I have new ideas now in case I need to approach this problem from a different perspective .
