Thanks for the information .But My issue is when i run my sql statement it is working fine but inserting blank data in longtext column field on MYSQL

SQL Table --- Test

ID - INT

COLUMNLONG - VARCHAR(MAX)

MYSQL Table -- Test

ID - INT

COLUMNLONG - LONGTEXT

I got some data in SQL (Test)

when I try to run following statement

Insert openquery(LinkServerMysql,'select ID,COLUMNLONG from TestTable ')

select ID,COLUMNLONG from TestTable

I supoosed to expect something in COLUMNLONG in MYSQL After i ran above statement

But for some reason it is inserting blank data

If i change COLUMNLONG to Varchar(8000) in MYSQL then it is ok

Is anybody can give me solution

Regards

What MySQL storage are you using? And you could use ADO.NET with the current provider.

I wanted to add a quick additional note. I had several columns that were "longtext" in my MySQL database. When I would try to copy those tables I was getting a "catastrophic error".
I finally got it to work by putting a LEFT on the LONGTEXT column. For example:

SELECT * FROM openquery(

'SELECT UNIQUE_ID,

LEFT(DISSERTATION, 4000) AS DISSERTATION'

)

Hi,

Check the above if it takes you in the direction to solve your problem, I got it from a long blog post from another developer at the MSDN forums. It comes with many users added options dealing with moving MySQL to SQL Server Express.
