Database Conversion
I'm planning to convert all of these nasty MS Access databases over to mySQL and I need a little advice on how to handle OLE Embeded field types.

I would like to extract these OLE Embeded objects out to files, then in the new mySQL database store the path to the document, instead of embeding the file inside the database.

Has anyone seen informatino on doing this ?

Thanks!

Are the paths to the OLE Objects absolute? If so you can store this reference in the database. A possible issue with this is if the reference file is deleted.

paths
I can make the paths whatever I want to. The problem is I have no files.... the objects are currently in an access database, I need to get them out of there and put them into files...

Any ideas ?

Thanks
