Convert MyISAM files to XLSX online

Add file

Input file

Our API uses .FRM, .MYD, .MYI files as input. These files are MySQL Server MyISAM files. Usually, a single table is comprised of all three of these files. You can upload files for multiple tables.

Max file size for web uploads: 50 GB

Output file

The API will return a ZIP archive of .XLSX files, one for each input file. Since Excel has a limit of about one million rows, it could be that the rows are divided into several files.

Conversion methods

Using our Java tool

Download the RebaseData client Java tool . To convert your database using RebaseData, run the following command: 

                    java -jar client-0.0.5.jar convert --output-format=xlsx myisam-files.. output-dir/
Using CURL

Let's imagine there's a table called products. You typically would have the files products.frm, products.myd and products.myi. The curl command would look like this. 

curl -F 'files[]=@products.frm' -F 'files[]=@products.myd' -F 'files[]=@products.myi' 'https://www.rebasedata.com/api/v1/convert?outputFormat=xlsx&errorResponse=zip' -o output.zip

It's also possible to convert multiple tables at once. Let's assume we also have an orders table. Check out the following command. 

curl -F 'files[]=@products.frm' -F 'files[]=@products.myd' -F 'files[]=@products.myi' -F 'files[]=@orders.frm' -F 'files[]=@orders.myd' -F 'files[]=@orders.myi' 'https://www.rebasedata.com/api/v1/convert?outputFormat=xlsx&errorResponse=zip' -o output.zip
The file output.zip will contain a XLSX file, one for each input file. If something went wrong, output.zip contains the error message.

How long does it take?

The conversion process takes between 15 seconds and multiple minutes. It depends on the size of the database.
