Subject Re: [IB-Conversions] MySQL to Firebird 1.5
Author Koushik Kannan
Thanks Helen and Jim. I have been trying to do that ... but i have a lot of
tables to convert and the the script that i get my mysqldump and other programs
need a lot of conversions ... close to me changing half the lines in my script
file :-) If there is no other way ... then i guess i have to get started with
the conversion by hand.

Thank you all for the help.
