[mysql] How can I convert an MDB (Access) file to MySQL (or plain SQL file)?

If you have access to a linux box with mdbtools installed, you can use this Bash shell script (save as mdbconvert.sh):

#!/bin/bash

TABLES=$(mdb-tables -1 $1)

MUSER="root"
MPASS="yourpassword"
MDB="$2"

MYSQL=$(which mysql)

for t in $TABLES
do
    $MYSQL -u $MUSER -p$MPASS $MDB -e "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS $t"
done

mdb-schema $1 mysql | $MYSQL -u $MUSER -p$MPASS $MDB

for t in $TABLES
do
    mdb-export -D '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' -I mysql $1 $t | $MYSQL -u $MUSER -p$MPASS $MDB
done

To invoke it simply call it like this:

./mdbconvert.sh accessfile.mdb mysqldatabasename

It will import all tables and all data.
