Part of the Series: How To Troubleshoot Issues in MySQLThis guide is intended to serve as a troubleshooting resource and starting point as you diagnose your MySQL setup. We’ll go over some of the issues that many MySQL users encounter and provide guidance for troubleshooting specific problems. We will also include links to DigitalOcean tutorials and the official MySQL documentation that may be useful in certain cases.
Many websites and applications start off with their web server and database backend hosted on the same machine. With time, though, a setup like this can become cumbersome and difficult to scale. A common solution is to separate these functions by setting up a remote database, allowing the server and database to grow at their own pace on their own machines.
One of the more common problems that users run into when trying to set up a remote MySQL database is that their MySQL instance is only configured to listen for local connections. This is MySQL’s default setting, but it won’t work for a remote database setup since MySQL must be able to listen for an external IP address where the server can be reached. To enable this, open up your
mysqld.cnf
file:Navigate to the line that begins with the
bind-address
directive. It will look like this:By default, this value is set to
127.0.0.1
, meaning that the server will only look for local connections. You will need to change this directive to reference an external IP address. For the purposes of troubleshooting, you could set this directive to a wildcard IP address, either *
, ::
, or 0.0.0.0
:/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
Note: If you’re running MySQL 8+, the
bind-address
directive will not be in the mysqld.cnf
file by default. In this case, add the following highlighted line to the bottom of the file:After changing this line, save and close the file and then restart the MySQL service:
Following this, try accessing your database remotely from another machine:
If you’re able to access your database, it confirms that the
bind-address
directive in your configuration file was the issue. Please note, though, that setting bind-address
to 0.0.0.0
is insecure as it allows connections to your server from any IP address. On the other hand, if you’re still unable to access the database remotely, then something else may be causing the issue. In either case, you may find it helpful to follow our guide on How To Set Up a Remote Database to Optimize Site Performance with MySQL on Ubuntu 18.04 to set up a more secure remote database configuration.Active4 months ago
Is it possible to create a Dump of SQL commands from a Microsoft Access database? I hope to convert this MDB file into a MySQL database for importing so I don't have to go through the CSV step.
I would expect even an MSSQL dump file to still contain workable SQL commands, but I know nothing of MSSQL, please let me know.

If you have access to a linux box with mdbtools installed, you can use this Bash shell script (save as mdbconvert.sh):
To invoke it simply call it like this:
It will import all tables and all data.

I modified the script by Nicolay77 to output the database to stdout (the usual way of unix scripts) so that I could output the data to text file or pipe it to any program I want. The resulting script is a bit simpler and works well.
Some examples:
Here is the modified script (save to to_mysql.sh)

Free database tools don't export table RELATIONSHIPS, but you can use this: converting MS Access to MySQL with relationships
Works fine and export all relationships to MySQL.

Try the Data Wizard for MySQL. It is a tool for converting structure and data from any ADO-compatible source (e.g. MS Access) to MySQL databases.See a brief guide to connection strings to build connection string to your MS Access file.

OSX users can follow by Nicolay77 or mikkom that uses the mdbtools utility. You can install it via Homebrew. Just have your homebrew installed and then go
Then create one of the scripts described by the guys and use it. I've used mikkom's one, converted all my mdb files into sql.
(which btw contains more than 1 table)

We've used ESF Database Convert many times for this exact purpose. DTS was usually too flakey. And the recommendations on the MySQL page were woefully out of date.

This mac tool MDB / ACCDB Viewer worked well for my needs. Free trial let me prove everything did the required, and exported half of all rows. Full version was required to get the whole db/tables exported.

If you are not too concerned with the privacy of the .mdb files you want to convert, please know that this site allowed me to recover two 15-years-old .mdb Access databases (remember the old times when ASP ruled the web?) in just two minutes : http://www.mdbopener.com/
The databases were converted in Excel files, with one sheet for each table. Just what I needed. Couldn't have been any faster to recover my (very) old data...
The IDs being kept in each table, it was as easy as anything to convert this again to mysql (after saving it to CSV format) - again, in just a few minutes.
