Hello,

How do I export my data from Links SQL 2.05 to a text file? Is there a way that I can import the BACKUP files in the /backup/ folder into ms access or otherwise get at it?

I would like to do it through linksql rather than through mysql or an external program.

Thanks.

If you simply want to do a MySQL dump into a text file, you could do thefollowing;

Database > MySQLMan > Launch MySQLMan > SQL Dump

Then decide what tables etc you want to dump into the file. You can selectwhere you want to put the text file (show it in your browser, or save it to afile on your server). I normally use the file on server option as it is fasterIMO.

That will export it into a format that MySQL can re-read and integrate intothe database again if ever the database were lost or you were setting up a newone. It can also be edited as a normal text file...

Hope that helps

Hi,

To export to a text file, go to Database->Links->Properties->Export Data.

You can also setup Access to access your MySQL database directly through ODBC if you have some patience. =)

Cheers,

Alex
