Copy Data from Access to MySQL Automatically
Move data from Microsoft Access to MySQL without writing scripts or building complex migration processes.
Connect your databases, map and transform your data visually, then run the transfer once or automate it on a schedule.
Typical migration experience: "I installed the software, watched one short video, and had my Access data migrated to MySQL in about 10 minutes. I expected it to take hours."
Access Data Migration Example
Read data from Access, transform and map the fields, then write the results directly to MySQL.

How to Copy Data from Access to MySQL - Step-by-Step
1. Launch Advanced ETL Processor
- Create an ODBC or OleDb Connection to your Access database (.mdb or .accdb)
- Create a MySQL Connection with hostname, port, username, password, and database
2. Create a New Transformation
Right-click on a transformation group and select New to start designing your workflow.
3. Configure Reader
- Double-click the reader object to open Reader Properties
- Select the Access connection
- Choose a table or use a custom SELECT query
4. Configure Writer
- Double-click the writer object to open Writer Properties
- Select the MySQL connection
- Choose the target table and write mode (append, replace, truncate)
5. Map and Transform Fields
- Match fields from Access to MySQL columns
- Apply transformations, validation rules, or data cleansing as needed
6. Run the Transformation
Click the Run button (green arrow) to start the process. Advanced ETL Processor logs every operation and handles errors automatically.
Business usage examples
