What potential compatibility issues should be considered when migrating data from Access to MySQL using PHP?

One potential compatibility issue when migrating data from Access to MySQL using PHP is the differences in data types between the two databases. For example, Access uses the "Memo" data type for large text fields, while MySQL uses "TEXT" or "LONGTEXT". To address this, you will need to ensure that the data types are properly mapped during the migration process. 

// Example code snippet for mapping Access Memo data type to MySQL TEXT data type
if ($accessFieldType == 'Memo') {
    $mysqlFieldType = 'TEXT';
} else {
    // Handle other data type mappings
}
