I'm working in NetBeans 6.8 and I'm trying to create new connection using MySQL to an existing database. Does the .mdb file need to be in a specific location? It tells me that it cannot establish the connection.
.mdb is an extension of a Microsoft Access database file, not MySQL. You need a different driver and you're not likely to get a platform-independent open source implementation.

On Windows 7, I must connect a MS Access client .accdb, where all the forms, VBA scripts, macro, and reports are, to a MySQL Database instead of a MS Access database .mdb. Here what I have tried so far.
I created a connection with MySQL Connector /ODBC 5.3 Unicode driver to the MySQL database with success.
After in MS Access 2013, I created a new database .mdb by linking to my local machine ODBC Connector. I can see the data in each table I have linked.
However, I didn’t find where to change the connection’s setup of the MS Access client .accdb so it uses the data from the new .mdb file linked to the MySQL database. Where do we do that?
Actually, I had also tried to directly connect the .accdb to MySQL by linking to my local machine ODBC Connector. In that case, the .accdb's forms kept trying to connect to the previous .mdb database. Where can I change this configuration?
Is there another, maybe easier way to use MS Access's user interface to interact with data from a MySQL database?
I'm a PHP developer by profession. I'm using Ubuntu Linux on my machine.
I don't have any idea about .Net framework and MS SQL Server Express database.
I've received a file titled project_db.bak and I have to convert it into project_db.sql in order to import the same database into MySQL.
I searched over the Internet for the solution. I found couple of answers but they are asking to use MS SQL server tools which I can not. I have to achieve this conversion in some other way.
Can someone please help me in this regard?
MS Sql Server typically generates binary backups, so what you have I guess is a backup. To restore it to a "querable" state you will need MS tools or RESTORE statment someway executed against the Motor (that you will need). Once it was "restored" (that is the reverse to a MS backup) you can dump (in MySql terms) with a tool or with a script
Create a Virtual Machine Windows 7 or better.
In the VM make sure you have a second network card that's set to a private network with your Host so you can connect to your Host MySQL you will need a User in your MySQL Server setup that allows connections from your remote network
in this VM install SQL Server, and SQL Server Management Studio & Navicat from that you can then restore the .bak file, once you have it restored. you will need another external tool that allows you to export as another format for this i use Navicat export is as another format. you can then connect to your MySQL Server and import that exported file.
I have a .mdb file on my computer that I would like to convert into a MySQL Schema and I have found that there is a migration tool within Workbench. However it doesn't seem to allow you to connect to a .mdb instead it looks for a server. How should I either link to my file or host my file easily as I have not done this before.
MySQL Workbench doesn't currently support migrations from MS Access. But you can still use the old MySQL Migration Toolkit which does support MS Access migrations.
I have MDB file with data and Mysql database also, I want to insert some specific fields of MDB file to My mysql database, Is there any mechanism to covert it and mention some specific fileds?
If you have Microsoft Access, you can create a link to the MySQL database using the appropriate ODBC driver for MySQL. But it's probably easier to install MySQL Workbench and use the migration assistant (in this case, you'll have to use the ODBC driver for Access).
I wonder whether it is possible to read data from mysql database not remotely from server, but just from a file on my disk, like from .mdb files. A happened to work with 2010 Office which gives .accmdb files rather then .mdb and cannot convert them, that's why I switched to mysql.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can use MySQL Embedded server. That will be similar to how you are working with Microsoft Access. AFAIK, Anydac supports MySQL Embedded server. May be other libraries too.
But I does not see a reason to replace Access with MySQL. To work with .accdb files you need to use different OLEDB provider (I expect you are using ADO) - "Microsoft Office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider" or similar.
