Hello,

I have a project in progress and I would like to add an existing database. Is it possible to import ?

Perhaps this can help:

But, honestly speaking, I did not use it for years now. For me it has always been easier to start a new project from scratch, then add required tables and fields manually, and, if necessary at all, import and convert data from old database tables into new structures. This gives the opportunity to improve the data model and perhaps to throw away badly-modeled/not-normalized legacy structures for performance- and storage-improvement.

This is just my personal "best-practice" and experience.
Kind regards,

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback

I started my project from scratch, but I have the database from my billing program (invoidceplane) and I would like to be able to retrieve the information (name, surname, address, etc.) of my customers to inject them into my project without disturbing the billing script. I have already used m2a.php, I even opened the .axp file with notepad++ to see if I could not add the DB
