MySQL integration with MS Access - mysql

I shall need to integrate MySQL 5.7 with MS Access (2007 and above) in two ways, so I send data from MySQL to MS Access and accept data from MS Access. This is a recurring task, so I shall need to set an automated routine to do so. Any ready to use tools or procedures?

Install the ODBC driver for MySQL and link the tables you wish to "integrate".

connecting to a local database with nodejsn

I want to have a database on my local hard-drive (say, made in MS Access) and connect to it with node.js (like you do with the MySql module).
Is there a way to do it?
Checkout this package:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-adodb
You will need to install MS Access Driver in your system (windows) to use it, but it applies to every other language too if you want to access MS Access db.

SQL Server sync to MySQL program

I want to continually sync every 30 mins or less around 380000 rows of data from 11 tables from a SQL Server database to a MySQL database. How can I do this? What programs can do this?
This post, which is often used to close questions like these as a duplicate, does not work for me, for the following reasons.
The SQL Server is part of a CRM system, I'm not sure if it may be a lite version or something, but long story short I do not have access to the SQL Server Management Studio.
The MySQL database is part of my hosting package, which means I have access to it via phpmyadmin and the like, but not to the console or anything. And obviously I cannot access it via localhost.
So basically what I'm looking for is a way to connect to both databases, probably via ODBC drivers, and sync data every x minutes/hours.
I finally used a program called Omega Sync. Now called Spectral Core Replicator.
Omega Sync can compare and synchronize both database schema and table data. Schema comparison and synchronization for databases of same kind
Data comparison and synchronization even for databases of different kind
Compare and Synchronize databases of unlimited size!

ODBC sources
I am not associated with this company or product in any way.
Microsoft SQL Server replication can apply the changes to generic ODBC/OleDB subscribers. You can configure MySQL as a subscriber if you follow the right steps and use the correct drivers, but is not officially supported so you are on your own if something goes wrong. Eg. see Set up replication between Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and MySQL. since the article is for SQL 2000 is already deprecated since Microsoft SQL 2008 supports OleDB subscribers, not ODBC.
You will need a very deep understanding of both Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, ODBC/OleDB and Microsoft SQL Server replication. If you hit errors you'll have to solve them on your own, as the public information on this subject is scarce. I can only tell you that is possible and I've seen it done. Good Luck!

What is the purpose of an ODBC driver when connecting to a MySQL server?

I've been wondering what are the benefits of using an ODBC driver to interface with a MySQL server? What advantage does that have over directly connecting to the server via TCP and firing off your SQL commands directly?
I'm working with a code base written in labVIEW that references a UDL file which references a data source and its associated ODBC driver to handle the connection to the server. I'm not yet convinced its necessary. I can see the benefit of using a driver if you are connecting to Microsoft Access or excel but if your recipient is an SQL server of some type why would you need a middle man to handle your SQL commands?
I have used the ODBC driver 3.51 for connecting to MySQL Community Server 5.1 for some time now. The ODBC driver allows you (on a Windows computer) to add your MySQL connection to the ODBC data sources list. Now you can reference this data source in many compatible applications. I have been able to use this ODBC connection in VB.Net applications as well as proprietary applications for printing and other functions with ODBC functionality.
I would say that when coding web or python applications i always use the built in MySQL packages, but if you need to access your data through VB.Net or another proprietary application (like a stand-alone windows app) you probably need to set up a system ODBC data source to access your database. To me the ODBC lets Windows access MySQL easily. Without Windows i don't think you need it.
Why ODBC and not JDBC? Some reasons come to mind in order of helpfulness when using JDBC:
Standard api to access the results from a query. To iterate over the results and to get the actual values with the appropriate type.
No need to know how the protocol works to connect to the server. Just use the host, user, password, send the SQL and iterate over the result.
Abstract out the connection to the database. Changing the database should be simpler.
Standard way to commit and rollback for transaction based changes.
In my experience, JDBC is very verbose. You need to write many lines to accomplish simple things. I've found the Spring JDBCTemplate wrapper to be an extremely easy to use alternative for simple stuff.

Oracle To Postgres, MySQL or MS Access Migration

I have an Oracle 8i database running on 2000 NT server.
I have been assigned a task to copy data along with schema into any of these
(postgresql, mysql, ms access)
I have tried a lot in the internet but there is no such tool which could help me. Right now I am running that NT 2000 in virtual machine using VM WARE.
It is not too difficult to link Oracle to MS Access, from which point it is just a matter of running queries, if you need the data to be physically held in MS Access.
More info: http://www.orafaq.com/node/60
For copying the schema/data to PostgreSQL there is ora2pg. If this is a recurring task then one nice thing about ora2pg is that you can potentially script/automate the process.
For a one-time or ad-hock export, and depending on the nature and size of the database, you can also use DbVisualizer to export the schemas/data.

Databases: Migrate data between MS Access DB and MYSQL

I have 2 databases, one is MS Access DB from an old website, and the other one is MYSQL from the new Joomla+VirtueMart based website.
I need to migrate existing products from MS Access to MYSQL.
I thought of putting both on server and writing SQL queries in MYSQL workbench, untill I have a good script for that, but I'm very new to SQL, so I'd rather avoid that.
I there a better way and more efficient for that?
You can always export to CSV and import that in MySQL.
you can use tools like Database Workbench
MySQL provides a free graphical tool called "MySQL Migration toolkit" which automates the migration of Access 2003 MDB files (schema + data) into MySQL.
