Converting an old site from Access to MySQL?
Hi
Hope someone can advise me. I have a site (a voluntary-run educational
website) running on an old server and am looking for new hosting. However I
notice that only MySQL hosting is offered now and my databases are in Access.
How difficult is it to convert Access to MySQL in the context of ColdFusion?
The related question is that my old CF installation is 4.5 - are there
implications for the code if moving to current versions of Cold Fusion? I am
not highly skilled with CF - the code was written for me by someone else and I
can maintain it but I'm not sure whether I could upgrade it.

Re: Converting an old site from Access to MySQL?
I once converted one from Access to Oracle and, while the work was not
exceptionally difficult (but I'm good at this sort of thing), there was a very
large amount of it.
Generally, what I did was:
1. Create the new tables and relationships in Oracle.
2. Bring in the existing data from Access.
3. In development, test and, if necessary, change the existing cold fusion
templates.
While this was happening, the existing data was being updated so, when I was
ready to go live, I :
1. Took away all the cold fusion pages that used the Access database.
2. Updated the data in Oracle.
3. Put the new pages into production.
One thing that I remember is that I had to change the dsn name in Cold Fusion.
Something very strange was happening (I forget the details), and after much
head scratching, and trying different things, we changed the dsn name and the
pages started playing nicely.
