Re: [mdb-dev] Import MDB to MySQL

I used the following script to scope up mdb data and dump it in mysql,
but first I export the tables manually to mysql using ODBC from windows to
get the bare bones table, then empty it, this ensures the csv`s I export
will match the tables exactly on reimport. I need to refresh these tables
alot to keep the data upto date and this script does that nicely
extract
echo "Bristol & West ASB<br>";
$mysqlcomm="mdb-export -d , '/public/B&W ASB/BAW-FPM ASB (Master).mdb'
'Branch Details' > /var/www/html/surveyfb/bawbrand.csv";
$dump=shell_exec("$mysqlcomm");
//empty table
if (!($result = @ mysql_query ("DELETE FROM surveysfb.b_wbrand",
$connection))) showerror();
//Set Mysql Table Date field back to text for import (MDB dates are in the
wrong format)
if (!($result = @ mysql_query ("ALTER TABLE surveysfb.b_whsaasb CHANGE
`Audit_Date` `Audit_Date` VARCHAR(19) DEFAULT '1900-01-01 00:00:00'",
$connection))) showerror();
//import csv
if (!($result = @ mysql_query (
"LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/var/www/html/surveyfb/bawbrand.csv' INTO TABLE
surveysfb.b_wbrand FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '\"'
IGNORE 1 LINES
(Branch_ID,Code,Name,Region,Address,Postcode,Short_Postcode,Manager,Title,Co
ntact,Comment,Telephone_Number,Tel_Comment,Fax_Number,Fax_Comment,Telecom_Ty
pe_ID,Telecom_Cont_ID,Telecom_Lines,Fax_Lines,EMail,MFT,MPT,FFT,FPT,Del_Mark
,BArea,New,Off,OffFloor,OffLift,fpmr,fpmc,fpmarea,BAreaM,Alloc,RAT)",
$connection))) showerror();
//set date to sql format
if (!($result = @ mysql_query ("UPDATE surveysfb.b_whsaasb SET Audit_Date =
CONCAT(IF(MID(Audit_date,11,1)='
',MID(Audit_Date,7,4),IF(MID(Audit_Date,7,1)='9',CONCAT('19',MID(Audit_Date,
7,2)),
CONCAT('20',MID(Audit_Date,7,2)))),'-',LEFT(Audit_Date,2),'-',MID(Audit_Date
,4,2),' 00:00:00')", $connection))) showerror();
//set text field back to datetime
if (!($result = @ mysql_query ("ALTER TABLE surveysfb.b_whsaasb CHANGE
`Audit_Date` `Audit_Date` DATETIME DEFAULT '1900-01-01 00:00:00'",
$connection))) showerror();
I dump about 5 large databases and reimport them.
All the indexes are already set up on the bare bones tables that you ODBC
export.
I did all this because I couldn`t get MDB ODBC to work with anyone but
root!!
