Re: [Phphelpdesk-help] converting database files to phphelpdesk

[Joseph R. H. <jo...@ne...>]

There are a couple of options that I can think of:

1)you can do mysqldump phphelpdesk > somefilename.sql

that'll dump the phphelpdesk database into a file for you.  Actually,
this is already done for you in a file that you use during the install
process.

2)you can setup an ODBC connection from your MS Access Box to the MySQL
box and just import the data from Access into the phphelpdesk MySQL
tables.
