Re: Re: How can I connect/access an MS access database from solaris?

Creating insert and update statements for sending CSV data to mySQL is slow and unnecessary. Mysql lets you directly import delimited files via the LOAD DATA function. Just export to CSV and do that instead (you must create your table def first tho).

I had thought LOAD was only available from the command line. I see that I was incorrect.

Actually ... the only "web" part of this, is that the MS Access database lives on a web server at a remote server farm. And I'm trying to insert a record from another IP through PERL CGI code. I was hoping to use something like: `dbi:DriverName:database=database_name;host=hostname;port=port` adapted as such: `dbi:ODBC:database=DSN_name;host=ip_address_of_IIS_box;port=dsn_port` I've loaded DBI and DBD::ODBC onto my Solaris box through CPAN. But DBD:ODBC wants an ODBC driver to point to. And I'm having a heck of a time finding a free ODBC driver for Solaris.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

However, doing this will break replication if you are using this. In that case, you have to create the insert commands before pushing them in to MySQL.	[reply]
