Hello.
 
Can you tell me if it is possible to port data from your access forum database version to a mySQL version forum database?
 
Kind Regards

There are tools if you search on Google to do this. However it is trial and error as some people have successfully done this, but others report unstable databases after the migration.

The biggest issue is that mySQL handles dates/times and true/false datatypes completely differently to Access, and in some cases mySQL doesn't have the same datatype type available so the migration tool has to make an educated guess at an alternative datatype.
