NAME¶
msql2mysql - convert mSQL programs for use with MySQL
SYNOPSIS¶
msql2mysqlC-source-file
...
DESCRIPTION¶
Initially, the MySQL C API was developed to be very similar to that for the mSQL
database system. Because of this, mSQL programs often can be converted
relatively easily for use with MySQL by changing the names of the C API
functions.
The
msql2mysql utility performs the conversion of mSQL C API function
calls to their MySQL equivalents.
msql2mysql converts the input file in
place, so make a copy of the original before converting it. For example, use
msql2mysql like this:
shell> cp client-prog.c client-prog.c.orig
shell> msql2mysql client-prog.c
client-prog.c converted
Then examine client-prog.c and make any post-conversion revisions that may be
necessary.
msql2mysql uses the
replace utility to make the function name
substitutions. See
replace(1).
