Convert Mysql Script To Mssql Online
Jennifer Curtis
It took a week of negotiations to receive such a file so I'm afraid to ask mySQL administrators to send me MS SQL SERVER compatible sql. Is there a way to convert mySQL dialect to MSSQL SERVER dialect automatically ?
SQLines provides tools and services to help you transfer data, convert database schema (DDL), views, stored procedures and functions, triggers, queries, embedded SQL statements and SQL scripts from MySQL to Microsoft SQL Server.
The easiest method would be to obtain a converter. There are multiple options available, but It might be difficult to find a good one: a lot of spammy options are available, all costing money ofcourse.
Adding a short exerpt:
If you check out the part called 'Using Data Loading'. The export file you allready have is probably fine, so you can go and skip 'Generating mysqldump Data Extract Scripts'.
Using the extracted scripts with SQL Query Analyzer
Generated scripts can now be used to create database objects and insert data. The preferred method to construct a database schema from MySQL scripts is to use the SQL Query Analyzer tool that is included with SQL Server 2000.
You can run SQL Query Analyzer directly from the Start menu, or from inside SQL Server Enterprise Manager. You can also run SQL Query Analyzer from the command prompt by executing the isqlw utility.
In order for the script to correctly execute there is some additional work required, which involves certain changes with the SQL dialect. Also, remember to walk through the SQL script and change the data types to SQL Server compatible types. The diagram below shows an imported script from mysqldump, it is important to note that the dump is an ASCII script file.
Also, MS-SQL doesn't use the ` (backtick) character, so you would need to get rid of all of them. However, some of the field/table names currently surrounded by backticks might be reserved words, in which case, you need to delimit those fields/tables with [fld_name] with brackets.
You could (re)create the MySQL database from the MySQL scripts you received and use a database conversion tool. I have used FullConvert in the past and works excellent. Supports many databases and is very fast!
I have seen ZOHO Creator and that looks like what I need, but the only trouble is - it is only available on their website, and would mean I would have to give everyone Internet access in order for them to look at the database (which is not an option). I have asked them if ZOHO can be downloaded to run on our own servers, but they have said no.
The thing I am asking for is if there are any open source/free web form design programs that I can use to create my web forms that will be stored on that server as well (in PHP/Perl or what ever language will run on there).
I am glad to see we are on the same proverbial page, however, i personally do not know of any open source/free web form design programs which can be used to interact with MySQL by the end-user. All of my MySQL interaction tends to be from a command line, so i have never researched other options, and am not familiar with this type of GUI based solutions.
I actually have a small site that I put together for exactly this. It does not require too much in the sense of knowing PHP inside and out, but it uses PHP to connect to a MySQL DB and has HTML forms to view/edit.
Did you ever get anywhere with this, I would like to get something similar so I can setup our HR team using a web frontend to enter personnel information in to MySQL instead of Access which sounds like something similar to what you are doing?
I used the Web Form Factory that it refers to and it was very satisfactory for automatically creating the tables within a mysql table of my choice and allowing me to use the converted form which is now in php format to update entries as necessary.
Initially all you would have to do after the table is created is to import the excel spreadsheet using phpMyAdmin in .csv form straight into the table and then from then on out, use the resulted php form created by the Web Form Factory.
As an alternative to the Web Form Factory, mysql offers a free Workbench tool which will create input forms as well as the php code to display the resulting database, complete with search options. All it requires is a local install on a windows box.

I recently stumbled across a major character encoding issue on one of the websites I run. Through resolving the issue, I learned a lot about the complexities of supporting international character sets in a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) environment. Fixing the problem was a challenge, so I wanted to share some of the knowledge I gained in case anyone else finds similar issues on their own websites.
You can specify a default character set per MySQL server, database, or table. The defaults for a database will get applied to new tables, and the defaults for a table will get applied to new columns. You can change the defaults at any time (ALTER TABLE, ALTER DATABASE), but they will only get applied to new tables and columns.
Some people have successfully exported their data to latin1, converted the resulting file to UTF-8 via iconv or a similar utility, updated their column definitions, then re-imported that data. Unfortunately this requires taking the database down as tables are dropped and re-created, and this can be a bit time-consuming.
I was hoping for a process that I could apply to an online database, and luckily I found some good notes by Paul Kortman and fabio, so I combined some of their ideas and automated the process for my site. I hit a couple issues along the way, so I wanted to share the steps that worked for me.
Additionally, the MODIFYs to BINARY and back need to retain the entire column definition. For TEXT types, a simple TEXT to BLOB conversion is sufficient. But for column definitions that have specified lengths, defaults or NOT NULL:
At some point, a character sequence that contained invalid UTF-8 characters was entered into the database, and now MySQL refuses to call the column VARCHAR (as UTF-8) because it has these invalid character sequences.
I found a good way of rooting out all of the columns that will cause the conversion to fail. If you SELECT CONVERT (MyColumn USING utf8) as a new column, any NULL columns returned are columns that would cause the ALTER TABLE to fail.
used your script to convert a typo3 database from 4.2 to 4.7 where character sets seem to have changed, as i had many garbled chars after the update. i just ran it on the live-db after i made a backup and it worked like a charm. all garbled chars are now gone, and i did not even have to change any part of the script. THANKS! this really saved me a lot of time.
Unlike SQL Server, MySQL is a much cheaper option, even if you opt for an enterprise edition. With MySQL, you can also enjoy a wide range of operating systems, including several Linux, Solaris, and Mac distributions. You also get a scalable database infrastructure with several additional features that have been tested over many years by a vast open-source community.
You can easily convert SQL Server to MySQL by setting up ODBC drivers and the MySQL Workbench or automating the process using third-party tools. In this article, you will learn how to effectively carry out SQL Server to MySQL migration using 2 different methods.
Without the need for manually setting up any connection drivers or the limited-feature MySQL Workbench, you can effortlessly carry out mssql to mysql migration using Hevo by following the simple steps given below:
The automated data pipeline is capable of helping you when there is a pipeline failure due to a functional bug or any other technical issues like a power outage. When the sources are SaaS, you can re-ingest the data by re-running the Pipeline.
MySQL Workbench provides a Migration Wizard that allows you to migrate mssql to MySQL Server to MySQL. However, you need to set up the MySQL ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) Driver to up the connection between these databases. You can achieve this by following the steps given below:
Before using the MySQL Workbench database, you have to set up the ODBC Driver to convert SQL Server to MySQL. An ODBC driver allows applications and programming languages to interact with and access Databases or a cloud application. You can easily set up your driver by going through the following steps:
7. Open the Create new data source to SQL Server window. Select Use user to enter login ID and password for SQL Server authentication (S) when you connect the remote server, and provide the ID and password. Click on Next.
9. Choose Any ODBC Source as the Type of Data Source, and select the newly made File DSN. Provide the SQL Server account and password to log in to it.
Because MySQL is compatible with many operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS, it may be easily installed on a variety of platforms. Conversely, MS SQL Server has limited support on other platforms and is primarily geared for Windows operating systems.
MySQL is well-known for its scalability and quick speed, which make it appropriate for demanding applications. Although MS SQL Server performs well, bigger databases could need more hardware resources. MySQL typically downloads and installs in 15 minutes or less.
Oracle provides MySQL Installer, which makes the installation and configuration procedure simpler for Windows customers. It simply takes three minutes to install and set up MySQL products on Windows using MySQL Installer.
