FMDump Migrator was able to generate Xanadu PHP code to import data from FileMaker into existing MySQL tables today!

I've migrated tables manually quite few times and wanted to automate for a while. The automation took a bit, but I think I could now migrate a bunch of tables in a day depending on how much it needed massaging. In Step 2 you can see five massages.

It's so easy now. FMDump from FileMaker to MySQL Create/Insert statements. Load the Dump files to MySQL. Then Migrator can use the Create statements to generate the SQL for new columns and PHP to set and massage the data.

I recently was helping a client with a migration and they refused to have a migration process since the import was a "one time thing". ...

FMDump for FileMaker is getting a helper tool called FMDump Migrator! It helps to import a table into an existing table. Paste in the CREATE RECORD statements, match up columns, or add and match.

When ready it will export MySQL to create columns and PHP to loop and "set fields". Here's a quick demo!
