Problem to load paradox database in Web application using MySQL

Asked By King Lopezs 30 points N/A Posted on - 05/31/2013

I am at work with any client who had an existing database system, built on what is apparently a paradox database. My client has provided me the database in the form of a zip file which contains .PX .MB and .DB files in it; one for each table. What I need is, that I want to take this data and import it into a web application that is using MySQL. Does anyone knows the way to extract this data and to load paradox database in Web application using MySQL.

Problem to load paradox database in Web application using MySQL

Hi King,

                You can import it using a Delimit Text, and Fixed Length Text and even in Lotus 1-2-3 formats. However this is a very long process and you need to allot so much time since someone needs to sit this down and export that tables one by one and then write the script. However, you may also try using MS access to do this any Paradox Database Files can open directly using MS Access.
