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!

Many companies are looking for open source database solutions to help shrink the IT budget by minimizing or avoiding support costs. One such solution would be migrating an Oracle database to PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL is a widely used open source RDBMS, and the PostgreSQL database model is very similar to Oracle. All PostgreSQL features are available at no cost or minimal cost. Also PostgreSQL professionals are less expensive to hire than Oracle DBAs.

However, migrating an Oracle database to PostgreSQL is not a straightforward task in an on-premises data center. In particular, it is challenging to migrate an entire Oracle schema with partitioning tables. This technical blog shares a simple method to migrate the Oracle schema to a PostgreSQL database using open source tools. It does not cover installation and configuration of PostgreSQL.

I have used the SQLines Data open source tool to do this migration. Once you create all required users (roles) and tablespaces and privileges in PostgreSQL, do the initial load using SQLines Data and exclude all partition tables.

Get the views, procedure and packages using an Oracle DDL generation command. Use the SQLine converter to convert Oracle code into PostgreSQL. Then get table and column comments scripts from Oracle and run on PostgreSQL.

Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) and Oracle are two of the most extensively used database management systems in the world. However, each system has distinctive features that make it suitable for different tasks. When organizations decide to transition from MSSQL to Oracle, the shift can be quite challenging due to the difference in syntax, architecture, and performance optimization techniques between the two systems.

In such cases, MSSQL to Oracle converter tools play a critical role. These tools automate the complex conversion process, thereby ensuring a seamless data transfer while minimizing the risk of data loss. With these tools, organizations can significantly save time and resources when migrating large amounts of data. Moreover, it also allows database administrators to focus more on other crucial tasks such as data integrity checks and performance optimization.

The objective of this comparison is to provide insights into various MSSQL to Oracle converter tools available in the market. This comparison can aid businesses and professionals in selecting the most suitable tool, depending on their needs and organizational infrastructure. Each tool has its strengths and weaknesses, and this analysis aims to present a balanced view by addressing both aspects. Some key factors considered in this comparison include ease of use, efficiency, cost, scalability, and customer support. By carefully analyzing these characteristics, organizations can make an informed decision that could significantly affect the success of their database migration project.

The bcp utility bulk copies data between an instance of MicrosoftSQL Server and a data file in a user-specified format. The bcp utility can be used to import large numbers of new rows into SQL Server tables or to export data out of tables into data files. Except when used with the queryout option, the utility requires no knowledge of Transact-SQL. To import data into a table, you must either use a format file created for that table or understand the structure of the table and the types of data that are valid for its columns.
