Data Transfer: from Access and Excel to MySQL database

Hi all,

I need to transfer data (client name, address etc) from excel and access into a MySQL database. I don't have a lot of technical background and I would like the operation to be as simple as possible.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi, tomrust.

You might want to have a look at some ETL tools available on the net. They do exactly what you describe (and much more). But I'll ask this: are you ready to spend lots of money on expensive software? If not, and since it seems to be a one-shot project, I'd recommend using open source ETL tools, freely downloadable compared to other licensed tools.

You can have a look at Talend Open Studio, it's pretty easy even if you don't have much technical background. You can download it at Talend - Open Source Data Migration

As you said I've had a look at several ETL Tools you were mentioning and it seems to be what I need. I'll give Talend a try and let you know. Thanks for the help!

For moving data from excel to sql,another way is by simply exporting data from excel file to the sql table by using sql data transfer wizard.
