Heinz Stapff Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Wow guys,I'm not even sure I'm in the right forum? I've created an Excel workbook in mydocuments that I'd like to link to tables in my D: drive UniServer database tables. The Excel documentation points out that you can add a 'Secure Location' to link to but only offers the typical Microsoft database types including 'Oracle' and I was wondering if my database is compatible with those? If not then the documentation points out that you can add a database type. So I need to find out what type of database phpadmin creates and am not sure 'myisam' etc. is applicable. Any advice or direction greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cairoo Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 It sounds like you're trying to link an Excel workbook to your database tables in UniServer. The database you're working with is likely MySQL, which is compatible with Excel through ODBC (Open Database Connectivity). MyISAM, InnoDB, etc., are storage engines within MySQL and don't directly affect how Excel connects to the database. You'll need to set up an ODBC connection for MySQL to link your Excel workbook to the database. Make sure to use the correct MySQL ODBC driver for this setup.
