Initiating the Export Process

Right-click on the Access table you wish to export and select 'Export', then 'ODBC Database' to begin transferring your data to MySQL.

Selecting Data Source

Choose between 'File Data Source' or 'Machine Data Source' tabs. Then, select the appropriate Connector/ODBC DSN for your MySQL database.

Login Credentials

If prompted, enter your MySQL login ID and password to authenticate your access to the database.

Saving Export Steps

Opt to save the export steps to streamline future data migrations, making the process more efficient.

Using MySQL Workbench

For MySQL database exports, use the SQL Data Export and Import Wizard available in MySQL Workbench. This tool is designed specifically for MySQL SQL format data.

Advanced Export Options

Refine your export using the 'Advanced Options' tab, tailoring the operation to meet your specific requirements.

Exporting Data

Select the MySQL schemas and tables for export, choose the target folder or SQL file, and decide if stored routines and events will be included or if table data will be skipped. Initiate the process with 'Start Export'.

Monitoring and Verification

Track the export progress using the 'Import Progress' tab. Upon completion, review the log to ensure the export was successful.
