Hi all, I know this can be done, but I just can't seem to find a way to
do it (that I can use myself, or understand).

I use Mac and I've got some databases on my hosting company's MySql
server that I use. I would like to take a database that's on my website
and change it over to use the MySql database. It's currently using a
flat file with pipes (|) to delineate each field.

The "converters" I've found online are all for Windows, and the one that
I found which would run on Mac, I just can't get it to work. For some
reason it won't connect to the server. It's called Navicat.

I do have PhpMyAdmin set up (version 2.5.5), but I can't find any way to
do this.

This database I've got has grown quite huge, and putting all of the info
in by hand would take a very long time. I know there's got to be a way
to do it using a Php script that I can install on my site. I just
haven't had success in finding the right script.

Does anyone know of something that might help? (Keep in mind, I'm not a
programmer, though I can install Php scripts just fine; and I don't have
full access to the MySql server, just through PhpMyAdmin)

Thank you very much. :)
