----------------------------------------------------------------

BDE ExportSQL is a wizard that will create a SQL script from a BDE alias, for uploading on SQL servers. The script can contain the tables scructures and data, and there are many options available to customize the script creation.

To be database independent, ExportSQL uses a "SQL Definition File (SDF)", which states different parameters for different database. Eacho .SDF file in the EXE directory denotes a database which will appear in the Target database combo. You can look at them, as they are only INI files, and you can create your own for your database.

Currently, ExportSQL come with definitions for Standard SQL and MySQL Server.

Some BDE ExportSQL feature are:
	- Creation of table structure, with primary keys (when available)
	- Creation of table indexes, optionally setting the corresponding fields to NOT NULL (when UNIQUE)
	- Table, field and index name substitutions
	- Field ignoring
	- Case convertion

All the screen parameters can be saved on a "ExportSQL Definitions" file (ESD), to be loaded again when necessary.

If you write a new SDF file, please send it to me, so I can package it on following versions of the software.

OBS.: I tested in only on MySQL (the reason I wrote this program), but it should be independent enough to be used on any RDBMS.

This is FREE software. Use it AT YOUR OWN RISK.

BUGS
====

BLOB handling is untested. Please tell me your experiences with it.


SOURCE
======

I am not sending the sources, because it isnt needed, a I used some components that are from my company, so I have to talk to them before I release it.

If someone wants the source code anyway, just ask, and Ill send it (but you will not be able to compile it).
