Database Access How To Install Packages

PostgreSQL is the default database on macOS Server as of OS X Server version 10.7.

There are several other installers available for PostgreSQL on macOS.

This installer includes the PostgreSQL server, pgAdmin; a graphical tool for managing and developing.

This installer can run in graphical, command line, or silent install modes.

The installer is designed to be a straightforward, fast way to get up and running with.

Database Access Download Is Intended

This download is intended for users who wish to include PostgreSQL as part of another application installer.

Database Access How To Install Packages

Please see the Fink documentation for information on how to install packages.

MacPorts documentation for information on how to install ports.

I have a windows machine up with access, but dont know how to export the whole database into a different format.

Take those exported files and import them into your DB (MySQL is a good choice).

As far as a helper app to convert them, there isnt one that Im aware of thatll run under OS X.

The last time I searched for one was a year ago or so, but nothing came up then and I seriously doubt there was a strong demand for such a thing.

Access is a bit weird in how it does things, which would probably be a nightmare to have to convert.

But if you need more advanced (relational-db) functionality, I spose you ought to convert.

To run a query from Excel to an Access database, you need something to answer to the query.

In this case that would be Access (via ODBC) or some built-in support for Access databases in the operating system (as you get in Windows).

Since you dont have either on the Mac, there isnt anything around to respond to the queries.

Ive been searching for something similar for years, but I always end up biting the bullet.

Just find some poor sod with Windows and Access, and ask him or her to convert your database to something you can use (CSV or SQL dump as suggested earlier).

Setting up ODBC on the Mac is generally a pain in the you-know-what.

Making it actually work is even worse.

If Microsoft Query is to work, ODBC has to work on the Mac, even when the server is somewhere else.

Even when ODBC is set up properly and working on the Mac, Microsoft Query might not.

Access isnt based on ODBC, but on Jet, and as far as I am aware, there is no Jet engine for Mac OS X.

If you have Access up and running in Windows, and want to move your data to a Mac, there are two ways that I know of that would work: 1.

Dump the data from Access into a file (e.g.

CSV or SQL dump), clean it up and import it in your application on the Mac (e.g.

Set up Access to connect to MySQL on the Mac, and transfer the database that way.

Have a look at this page: INCESSANT RANT In conclusion: I hate Access.

Really. Its very convenient to use as a stand alone database on your own desktop, much like FileMaker.

And just like FileMaker, its a plague as soon as you want to share the database with others.

Mind you, FileMaker used to be at least decent, with built-in web server and all, before they moved all innovating from RD to the marketing department.

MySQL, PostgreSQL or anything else that runs on multiple platforms, and can be accessed over the network should be mandatory these days.INCESSANT RANT.

Now, I have to do it all over again since I upgraded to Tiger.

Im sure a lot of people would appreciate it If you can, try to make it a combo HOW TO, with instrucions on how to get it working with MySQL too.

If you dont have the time, just drop a few lines about how you did the pgsql thing, and Ill try to take it from there and do a MySQL version.
