replace vs loop set fields

[Joost Miltenburg]

Hi,

Personally I am a fan of replaces, how about you ?

I have this situation where I import data from FileMaker into a MySql table using ESS.

Offcourse, I never see any problems with my data but my client keeps informing me of data missing in the SQL-table.

After importing the data into the tabel I do several replaces as the dataset might contain several records.

Would a loop thorough the records, thus setting the fields, be better / more reliable than a replace ?

Any experiences ?

TIA !

Are the mySQL data types st properly to handle FM's values?
