If you have access to a linux box with mdbtools installed, you can use this Bash shell script (save as mdbconvert.sh):

To invoke it simply call it like this:

Access Mdb Viewer

It will import all tables and all data.

I modified the script by Nicolay77 to output the database to stdout (the usual way of unix scripts) so that I could output the data to text file or pipe it to any program I want. The resulting script is a bit simpler and works well.

Some examples:

Here is the modified script (save to to_mysql.sh)

Free database tools don't export table RELATIONSHIPS, but you can use this: converting MS Access to MySQL with relationships

Works fine and export all relationships to MySQL.

Conversion Tool Quickbooks

Try the Data Wizard for MySQL. It is a tool for converting structure and data from any ADO-compatible source (e.g. MS Access) to MySQL databases.See a brief guide to connection strings to build connection string to your MS Access file.

OSX users can follow by Nicolay77 or mikkom that uses the mdbtools utility. You can install it via Homebrew. Just have your homebrew installed and then go

Then create one of the scripts described by the guys and use it. I've used mikkom's one, converted all my mdb files into sql.

(which btw contains more than 1 table)

Read Mdb File

We've used ESF Database Convert many times for this exact purpose. DTS was usually too flakey. And the recommendations on the MySQL page were woefully out of date.

This mac tool MDB / ACCDB Viewer worked well for my needs. Free trial let me prove everything did the required, and exported half of all rows. Full version was required to get the whole db/tables exported.

Unit Conversion Tool

If you are not too concerned with the privacy of the .mdb files you want to convert, please know that this site allowed me to recover two 15-years-old .mdb Access databases (remember the old times when ASP ruled the web?) in just two minutes : http://www.mdbopener.com/

The databases were converted in Excel files, with one sheet for each table. Just what I needed. Couldn't have been any faster to recover my (very) old data..

The IDs being kept in each table, it was as easy as anything to convert this again to mysql (after saving it to CSV format) - again, in just a few minutes.
