Convert existing MySQL databases to AppGini projects

MySQL2AppGini Wizard lets you connect to a MySQL database server and select a database to convert some or all of its table definitions into an AppGini Project file (*.AXP).

MySQL2AppGini is automatically installed when you install AppGini. To start MySQL2AppGini, open the File menu in AppGini, go to Import, then click on MySQL database.

If you are using the free trial version of AppGini, MySQL2AppGini will be limited to converting only 2 tables in each run.

Only three steps for using MySQL2AppGini:

Step 1: Connect to your database
When you run MySQL2AppGini, enter your MySQL database host, username and password. Then click Connect.

Choose your database from the menu and click Next.

Step 2: Select tables
Select the tables to include in the AppGini project by double-clicking their names on the left pane or using the selection keys. Then press Next.

Step 3: Save definitions to AppGini Project file
Type a name for the file and click Next.

The project is now saved and ready to be opened in AppGini. Click Finish to end the wizard.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AppGini project and how will I use it?
An AppGini project is a file having an extension of AXP. It contains the description of a database (i.e. its tables and fields structure). AppGini uses this project file to generate a PHP application that can manage data in the database from a web browser in a friendly manner.

All you need to do is open the project file created by MySQL2AppGini in AppGini and click the 'Generate PHP Code' button. Then follow the instructions you see, and you will have your database application running smoothly. It all takes less than a minute!

Will my database be affected when using MySQL2AppGini?
No. MySQL2AppGini only reads your database definition and then creates an AppGini project file. You then open this file in AppGini, generate the PHP application and upload it to your website. The PHP application will not need any setup since the database is already in place. It will see the tables of the database and any data stored in them.

Can I use MySQL2AppGini with the trial version of AppGini?
Yes. But you will not be able to add fields to any table that already has 4 or more fields. And you won't be able to add tables to your database if it already has 4 or more tables. If you need to add fields or tables, you should upgrade to AppGini Pro.
