Great Access-to-MySql Tool
I am in the process of attempting to build a custom-CMS for a client. Having the db model down is one thing, but I have been looking to save time in the build-out of the MySQL db on Apache. Found a great free tool to help me.
The tool is a little free piece of softwore call Access-to-MySql. These sorts of utilities have been around for awhile, but always seem problematic and buggy. Not this one.
The price was certainly right - $0 - and it worked like a charm on an XP SP2 box. The only hurdle was having to install the ODBC drivers (available at mysql.com) Once I did that everything worked.
The software gives you two options - connecting live and uploading or writing to an SQL dump file. I like working with the dump files., but I will experiment with the software's other features.
Available for free at www.bullzip.com
