Tom,
The initial format and some of the data types would need to be converted
so the syntax matched to the new . This is a well known problem when
migrating from one SQL database to another where there are added,
non-standard data types.

Hi :)
Is it likely to be possible to connect Base directly to the original
data? So that instead of getting an export or a dump of the data it
can be read dynamically?
I know it is not what the o.p. is asking for but i often wonder.
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi Carl,

This is enough to tell us that the data came from a mysql database
originally. MyISAM is the default engine for non-transactional MySQL
databases :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MyISAM
In the sample table you give, the table/field definitions are particular
to mysql, so if you try to run that sql with another db engine, e.g. in
hsqldb via LO Tools > SQL, it will fail because it will not recognise
the field types you're trying to create (e.g. enum, mediumint.
So, your best bet would be to import that into a mysql server, assuming
you have one to hand and you have some kind of console/terminal access
(localhost / same machine):
mysql < '/path/to/myfiletoimport.sql'
optionally with -p if you require authentication for the user that is
connecting to the mysql server :
mysql -p < '/path/to/myfileimport.sql'
There are many web sites on the internet that are full of information on
how to set up and import data into a mysql server.
