mdb to mysql
Excellent - you saved alot of my time.
Just one adjustment to the script, you have to add database type with -I option.
mdb-export -I 'mysql' -R ';' $mdb $table >> $sql
mdb=$1
sql=$2
if [ -z "$2" ]; then
echo 'This script convert a MDB file to SQL file. You need to specify the name of both'
echo "Usage: $0 <mdb_file> <sql_file>"
exit 1
fi
if [ -z "$(which mdb-tables)" ]; then
echo 'You need mdbtools installed.'
echo 'Learn more at http://mdbtools.sourceforge.net/'
echo 'If you use Debian/Ubuntu, just execute:'
echo ' sudo aptitude install mdbtools'
exit 2
fi
mdb-schema $mdb > $sql
sed -i 's/Long Integer/INT(11)/g; s/Text /VARCHAR/g' $sql
for table in $(mdb-tables $mdb); do
mdb-export -I 'mysql' -R ';' $mdb $table >> $sql
done
sed -i '/^-\{2,\}/d; s/DROP TABLE /DROP TABLE IF EXISTS /' $sql
