Import OLE Object from Access to MySQL
- by SecretDeveloper
I have a table in an access table which contains Product entries,  one of the columns has a jpg image stored as an OLE Object.  I am trying to import this table to MySQL but nothing seems to work.  I have tried the MySQL migration tool but that has a known issue with Access and OLE Objects.  (The issue being it doesnt work and leaves the fields blank)  I also tried the suggestion on this site
and while the data is imported it seems as though the image is getting corrupted in the transfer.  When i try to preview the image i just get a binary view, if i save it on disk as a jpg image and try to open it i get an error stating the image is corrupt.
The images in Access are fine and can be previewed.  Access is storing the data as an OLE Object and when i import it to MySql it is saved in a MediumBlob field.
Has anyone had this issue before and how did they resolve it ?
