12.0pt">Speaking of which, im working on an ETL tool that uses ini files for table mappings and for db connections. It also uses what I call autokeys. If a table has NO unique
keys, you give it a few columns which together make up a unique set and uses that as a key. If I post it somewhere would anyone be willing to give it a go and make some suggestions. Its pretty rough, but it works fairly solidly :) Im working on adding syncing
csv files at the moment. Mostly I use it for syncing tables in heterogeneous db environments mysql to sqlserver, sqlserver to informix, anyting to CSV , etc...<br>

incremented numeric key (an “identity” column in SQL Server; an “auto_increment” in MySQL).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
