RE: [mdb-dev] Segmentation Fault

[John F. <in...@al...>]

What I have is a rather old access database that is used by a proprietary
WinNT program that collects data from various machines and stores it in the
database. Presently, the .mdb file is about 160 megs of largely numbers
(counters, levels, timers, etc.) Several of these numbers are of great
interest to us and we've been using the (proprietary software) to generate a
report each day based on the previous day's numbers and storing those values
in another database I've created using PHP / MySQL. The MySQL database
provides much more meaningful information, and I am trying to automate the
process of extracting the information we need from the access database. (It
also allows much [more] information to be gleaned from it's contents than
even the reports give us so there are numerous advantages) However, given
the size of the database, and the fact that each day's information is heaped
on top of years of previous days' records (at about 700 rows / day), you can
imagine what I wouldn't give to be able to do a "SELECT * FROM process WHERE
date = CURRENT_DATE" instead of trying to parse years of information for one
day's data. :) The long and the short of it is that yes, I would be more
than happy to help test the new code once it's ready for trial.
