Converting MySQL to SQL Server 2005

  • We have an application which was originally installed with a MySQL format. We are now nearly completely SQL Server (of various types). This supplier now has sent an update but it is in a MySQL format. They say that if we want it in SQL Server we will have to convert it.

    Never tried this before.............has any one any experience?

  • Update in the sense??

    If its data and both SQL & MySQL have same structure its easy..Can you please be more specific on your requirement??

  • No they don't have the same structure. MySQL uses files whilst SQL Server uses tables

  • Not knowing exactly what you need, this might be off, but what about loading the update into a MySql instance and then using SSIS to migrate the data?

    If it's structures or code, you'll just have to rebuild it manually. There's no way to move it automatically that I'm aware of.
