    Is there a program out there that will convert a regular .sql text file into tables of usuable form?

    I have a .sql written in word pad that I want to convert.

    Any ideas?

    is that a snap in for MySQL or something? And don't say the O-word. It's dirty.

    What's in the .sql file?

    If it's create table statements then you can copy and past them into the console window of my sql and create the tables.

    If it's the data from tables then assuming that you have column information you would have to parse the text files and dynamically build your own create table statements.

    Of course if you have mySQL ODBC drivers you could import the text files into access. Then build your table structure in my SQL and transfer the data from Access to my SQL. Might have to play with it a bit and MySql doesn't have the best ODBC drivers yet.

    yeah...I figured it out but phpMyAdmin is a great tool for this. I found that SQL server is too...
