I have tried few JDBC type 4 drivers and Visual Migration Tools including one from MySQL. All of them choke when the table size goes beyond size of available memory. Problems with heap. I tried Xmx and Xms options but looks like JDBC4 drivers are trying to create structure of the entire table in memory. Any suggestions ?

That is a seriously cool tool. Pity it doesn’t support SQL Server yet, so for the moment I’m going to have to rely on DTS which doesn’t always do the job correctly.

KuraFire: my first 2 sentences talk about the need for validation wether it be XHTML or HTML :).

I did also mention that XHTML will improve seperation between layout and content, and also that you are able to bloat it.

All the points I make are to be taken together. Sayin HTML can do point 1/ slightly better (WOOO i save a couple of characters) is irrelevant.

Also, its all about seperation. Code practices are always going to drive quality, XHTML .. if you start learning it.. is pretty much written for the data. (eg, seperation)

Its better for me. There are the facts (for me at least) in my previous post.

A tool for most things you need already exists out there…the problem is finding it.

Well, I must say, we had a huge problem when we tried to migrate from Oracle to MySQL, shame this came to late...

Oh yeah, and last but not least ... MySQL Rules !!!

good article. Your 30 Access db migration project - does it contain lots of VBA and if so how much of an issue is that in dealing with migration?

In this case- the application logic was being handled by Cold Fusion. Part of this migration aside from moving from Access to MySQL is moving the Cold Fusion codebase to PHP.

They are wanting to leverage some specific functions in a more open language like PHP so they can host on Linux, utilize some image handling and pdf creation tools and move toward XML.

Though those things can be done with CF on Windows - they felt getting their architecture onto Linux now was the way to go based on their future planning.
