MdbToMySQL XP

MdbToMySQL XP is an easy-to-use software program that gives you the possibility to migrate Microsoft Access databases to MySQL in just a couple of steps.

It lets you pick the tables you want to export and doesn't come packed with complicated options or customization preferences, making it accessible to all types of users.

The setup procedure doesn't take a long time to finish, and the only notable aspect about it is that MdbToMySQL XP requires .NET Framework installed to be able to run.

It's wrapped in an outdated interface, made from a common-looking window that shows all settings. After locating a Microsoft Access database with the .mdb format, the app shows all containing tables, namely their name, number of records and fields.

You can select one, all or just part of the tables, as well as ask the utility to export the structure only, data only, or both. What's more, it can add field names to the INSERT queries, run the DROP TABLE query before creation, or run the DELETE FROM query before the INSERT one. Once you indicate an output file name and directory, MdbToMySQL XP immediately generates the new MySQL file. There are no other notable options available here.

The utility put together MySQL files swiftly while remaining light on CPu and RAM usage, so it didn't hamper system performance. It didn't hang, crash or display error messages in our tests.

Although it hasn't been updated for a long time and features just a few options, MdbToMySQL XP offers a straightforward method for migrating databases from Microsoft Access to MySQL format, and it can be seamlessly handled by anyone.
