Hi,

MDB table and Mysql table are not identical.

example:: MDB_Table

Name Lastname age SSN SEX

Mon Bat 32 123-12-1234 F


Convert to Mysql table like:MYSQL_Table

Name SSN DOB
Ron 123231234 Null
Mon 123121234 Null

SO i need to change datatype too.see SSN need to be changed mean need to discard -.

Please help me out.

Can you export your MDB data to a text file?
Create the MySQL table the same as the MDB file and then you can use the ALTER TABLE statment to rearrange or drop the unwanted columns.
