Connecting to non-MySql databases

[SkippyK]

Is it possible to connect PHPMyAdmin to ODBC databases other than MySQL?

Alternatively, can I/how would I populate MySQL with data from an external source e.g. DB IV.

AFAIK phpMYAdmin does not support any DB servers other than MySQL, hence the My part of the title.

As far as popluating a MySQL table from other DB sources, CSV files are probably the way to go. I am sure you could write a script to handle it without CSV files though.

That was what I expected to be honest, but thought it was worth an ask.

It is possible to link MySQL with some databases using the MyODBC drivers available from mysql.com. You'd have to check the docs to see whether the other database you would like to use could connect to MySQL using these drivers.
