Transferring data from MySql to MS SQL Server

  • You can create a linked server and then query it into your MS SQL DB. Do a little search on this forum about linking MySQL to MS SQL 😉

  • Not directly relevant, but when converting MySQL to SQLServer, I used SQL_Maestro as an interface to dump out the tables for import into SQL .... FWIW

    Hi,

    This transfer should be online.

    What do you mean by the above?

    You could just export the data to a file and then import it.

    I've recently had to do this for a system that was delveloped in MySQL, granted there were a number of tables, but in the end I just did a MySQL backup which I could restore on the MS SQL 2005 server, then did a: INSERT INTO.... Select * from ....

    Linked servers are considered poor security.

    Nothing in life is ever so complicated that with a little work it can't be made more complicated.
