Hello, We are in the process of making an installable (using installanywhere). One task that the installer needs to do is pull down from the server ,which master data present in MySQL database. This data then needs to be inserted into a MySQL client which has been installed earlier as part of the same installation process. Right now we are thinking that the master data could be made available as a file (exported from mySQL) outside the installation process. We will then use a java program (executed during installation) for donwloading this file,possibly using httpConnection.
Not sure how one imports into the mySQL client as part of the install at this point.
Does this sound right? Is there a more elegant way of achieving this sort of data pull?
Note: there is a firewall between server and client.
Thanks
