contents of an existing MySQL database.

VServer user's option
If you are using Virtual Server hosting you probably have no
sufficient privileges to create new databases on the target MySQL
server. For this case we recommend the following approach:
- ask your Virtual Server administrator to create blank database for
you
- run Excel-to-MySQL and select this database as the conversion
target
- click "Yes" when you will be asked if you'd like to overwrite
existing MySQL database
When you complete these steps, the entire contents of the source MS
Excel spreadsheet will be imported into the specified MySQL database.
MySQL dump file
Excel-to-MySQL allows users to perform deferred conversion and get
more control over the process. Following this way, the program stores
the contents of the data source into a local dump file instead of moving
it to MySQL server directly. The resulting file contains MySQL
statements to create all tables and to fill them with the data. You will
be able to import this file into existing MySQL database via MySQL
client as follows:
