Resolving Invalid Names

Table, column, and index names that are valid in Access might be invalid in MySQL. Database Publisher detects invalid names and lists them on the Invalid Names screen in the wizard, providing an explanation of why the names are invalid and suggestions for correction. The invalid names must be corrected in the Access database before the database can be published to MySQL.

If no invalid names are detected, the No Conflicts screen displays in the wizard, and you can click Next to proceed with publishing.

The following procedure lists the general steps for resolving invalid names.

To resolve invalid names

On the Invalid Names screen, click Save As to save the information to a file.
