As an interesting note... I recently moved one of my legacy databases from SQLSVER7 onto my production mySQL server. It took 10min.
Well, ok, maybe a bit longer... but my buddy, wonderful godlike java geneous that he is wrote an applet that will move all the data over from SS7 to mySQL without having do do any coding. And you don't have to worry about the idiosyncracies of SS7's text dumps. Though it is version 1.D and doesn't currently inspect and replecate the table structures... i.e. You have to build the tables into the mySQL DB yourself... it will abstractly seek the rows and field types and names and create and post the sql on its own... So you tell it the database logins for each side, and you tell it your drivers... and you list the tables you want moved over...(Table names must match.) and viola... Its a neat little gadget... if any of you are procrastinating moving stuff over, you might want to try a copy. Open source and entirely willing and desireous to have it back if you improve upon it...Its a steady cruncher and will do large amounts of data steadily... It's painless, and absolutely not garuanteed to do anything for anyone or anything any better than any one might not expect it wouldn't do....didjagetthat... that was our disclaimer? Think Mickey Mouse and his little brooms carrying water... admitedly there was a PLUS side to that... but if you use it for evil..well.. You only have yourself to blame.....'wink' -grin. Offlist if you want a copy to play with. _TheMechE -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
