MSSQL to MySQL

Migrating from one database system to another is not an issue if you have the right tools at hand. For instance, an application such as MSSQL to MySQL can be of great help when converting Microsoft SQL Server databases to MySQL, as it provides assistance in data synchronization, matching and conversion. Despite the simplified name, this application comes with support for Azure SQL, MariaDB or Percona, alongside MySQL.

Thanks to the wizard-based approach, working with MSSQL to MySQL is extremely intuitive. In just a few steps that are easy to follow, you can have your new MySQL data ready.

First, you have to make sure that you can connect to both the source and the target databases and have the privileges to read the SQL Server database schema, create new objects and insert new data in the SQL Server database. All versions of Microsoft SQL Server are supported.

On the other hand, the original database can be converted to MySQL even if the connection to the MySQL server is not active. In this case, the application exports all the data to a MySQL dump file that is stored locally instead of uploading the data directly to the MySQL server.

Once connected to the source database, you can proceed to selecting the source and the destination databases and continue by selecting the data to migrate. MSSQL to MySQL is able to process views, indexes or just individual tables. Indexes are converted with all the necessary attributes, alongside foreign keys.

There are options to filter data using the SELECT query and perform synchronization between the target MySQL database and the SQL server data. All these conversion settings can be stored as a profile, which allows you to quickly initiate a new job next time you need to migrate database records.

With its easy-to-use wizard-based interface, MSSQL to MySQL manages to quickly merge MS SQL data into a new or an existing MySQL database. You are free to customize the structure of the resulting table and even create a MySQL dump file should the connection to the target database be unavailable.
