Connect to existing DB

[sharonbetts]

Before purchasing or installing the free version to test, verify that I can connect to an existing DB.

I already have a database and wish to use AppGini for the php front end only. I do not see how I can connect and have the tables / fields all imported. Is this possible?

I found a review of the product that explained how this was done -

In AppGini: open the File menu > Import > MySQL database ... Follow the wizard steps.

I share this frustration!
I am pretty familiar with Ms access I cant seem to make the connect between showing the database on my website or on my PC
Get As far as saving the file as a PHP file
Also cannot be sure how text or blob fields will work
I am uploading religious text and must not Truncate more than 255
Will someone please confirm that my MS Access App will work here If I reproduce the same relationships and queries tables etc ....Its NOT the money But the Time i will have to spend learning the AppGini
Any limits as to table or records ?

A safe bet is to choose "Long text" data type for storing large amounts of text. It can store up to 2^32 characters. For more info, please see https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/blob.html
