Importing Tables Using MySQL Control Center

Hi,

I'm completely new to MySql and need help importing tables from Access or
Dbase. I am using Dreamweaver MX to create a data-driven web site. With the
VPS hosting plan we're on, our remote FreeBSD server only supports the PHP
application server. PHP requires MySql. Thus, I installed a copy of MySQL
Control Center 0.9.2 beta. (I prefer a GUI and not command prompts unless
necessary.)

The information I plan on using in developing this site will be derived from
a contact management program called GoldMine. The records will be exported
into DBase tables, and somehow imported into the MySQL/PHP/Dreamweaver
environment.

From what I can gather so far, the MySQL environment I'm working under will
not work with Access or DBase tables. Thus, I've created a new table in
MySQL and re-created the various fields to match what I have in the DBase
table. Now I want to import all the records I have in my DBase table. In
fact, I will need to update the MySQL database weekly.

So far, I have been successful in making all the connections work, except
for importing the table into MySQL. In the MySQL Control Center, once you
connect to the database, there is an option to import, but it is dimmed out.
How do I make it work?

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Rick

I have some Visual Foxpro tables that I want to convert to tables in a MySQL database. VFP contains no MySQL export facility. Can anyone suggest a tool to handle the conversion? An indirect conversion via an intermediate format supported by both would be OK. Many thanks.

Hello, I have the contents of a MySQL database sitting in a folder. Each file in the folder is an ISAM table that is comprised of three files, its ..frm, .MYI and .MYD. I would like to import this database on another MySQL installation running on another machine. I thought it would be as simple as mysqladmin create <database_name> and then navigating to the databases data directory and dropping in the ISAM files, however, when I connect...

Hi, I have researched but have not found a good solution to this problem. I am importing large amounts of data (over 50 Meg) into a new mysql db that I set up. I use >mysql dbname < importfile.txt But I keep getting timeouts and errors due to the data being too large. I know that since if I break the imported data into multiple chuncks (by importing a few tables at a time) then everything works.

I can import a csv file with no problem. I can also add columns to the datagrid upon import. I want to be able to start importing at the 3rd row. This will pick up the headers necessary for the datagrid. Once I can get to that point I need some way to be able to add new data only to the new columns that were added. Here is some of my code: //Function For Importing Data From CSV File public DataSet ConnectCSV(string filetable)
