If possible, update your UNIX DB to 3.23, and convert the tables to MYISAM - the tables can then be freely copied between platforms.
Alternatively, you could use ODBC to update the UNIX tables directly. Otherwise, you would have to use mysqldump to copy the data to windoze and back again, assuming you are the only one doing any work. You'd have to check the options on mysqldump to ensure that it doesn't try and create MyISAM tables when going back to UNIX. Hope this helps Quentin -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Winterbourne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 31 October 2001 7:59 a.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Can you use a Unix MySql db file on Windows? I was wondering if there is a way to download the MySql database hosted on a UNix machine running Solaris, to my Windows computer and be able to view and modify it from there? The Solaris version has .ISD and .ISM files wheras Windows has .MYD and .MYI files. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
