How do i convert MS SQL to MySQL

[Samsher]

Hey Guys,

I had installed 2005 MS SQL express on my system. I had even loaded the .bak that i received and had even tried the MySQL migration method, but couldn't connect the database on my system. Can any body tell me that how do i convert MS SQL to MySQL? Does any body knows about it? Kindly provide me the solution for the above issue.

Thanks.

MSSQL-to-MySQL is a program to migrate Microsoft SQL databases to MySQL server. Depending on your privileges on the target MySQL server you can export MS SQL data into new database or overwrite the contents of an existing MySQL database.

Requirements

• MS SQL environment (server or client components of MS SQL must be installed on the same machine where you run MSSQL-to-MySQL from)
• Necessary privileges to write into the destination database

If you are using Virtual Server hosting you probably have no sufficient privileges to create new databases on the target MySQL server. For this case we recommend the following approach:

1. Ask your Virtual Server administrator to create blank database for you
2. Run MSSQL-to-MySQL and select this database as the conversion target
3. Click "Yes" when you will be asked if you'd like to overwrite existing MySQL database

When you complete these steps, the entire contents of the source MS SQL database will be imported into the specified MySQL database.
