My partner and I are considering a move to Linux.  The problem is -
what do we do with our existing customers and their databases?  Each
MS Access database has at least 20 tables, and many of those tables
have relationships.  Do you know of any (reasonably) simple way to
convert existing Access databases to Linux-compatible databases,
maintaining all of the realtionships?  We were thinking of using
MySql.  Any suggestions would be welcomed.

TIA
