  • Does not convert stored procedures
  • Does not convert views

Requirements

  • Windows 2000/XP or Windows NT 4 with Internet Explorer 5 or later or Windows 98/ME or Windows 95 with Internet Explorer 5 or later
  • At least 32 MB of available memory
  • MS SQL environment (server or client components of MS SQL must be installed on the same machine where you run MSSQL-to-MySQL from)

VServer user's option

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.

MySQL dump file

MSSQL-to-MySQL allows users to perform deferred conversion and get more control over the process. Following this way, the program stores the contents of the source database into a local dump file instead of moving it to MySQL server directly. The resulting file contains MySQL statements to create all tables and to fill them with the data. You will be able to import this file into existing MySQL database via MySQL client as follows:

mysql.exe --host=... --user=... --password=... -vvf {MySQL database name} < {dump file name}
