Problems with exporting data from SPSS into MySQL

Troubleshooting


Problem

I am using SPSS for Windows and I'm having some problems trying to export data out of SPSS into MySQL database with the Save Translate command syntax. Using the recommended 3.51 MySQL ODBC driver, I cannot export dates or numeric fields with decimals defined. All of the numeric values with decimals export to MySQL as zeros, and variables defined as dates do not export at all, and the following warning appears in the Output Viewer: >Warning # 6480. Text: MYDATE >Variable has been dropped - it's type is not supported by the data base How do I work around this?
