Luis,
I regularly move data from MSSQL to MySQL using Navicat. Start MSSQL (the
lite version is free if you don't have it) and load your MSSQL data. From
Navicat, create a database to receive the data and import it using ODBC.
Very slick, reasonably quick, complete transfer including creating the
tables.
Thanks,
Carl

Subject: Transfer database to MySQL.Huge effort?
I want to transfer a database(not MySQL) to MySQL(only the tables,not stored
procedures,views etc.).Using SQLWays I gotseveral problems(It needs some
expertise).Now using SQLMaestro DataWizard I exported some tables to csv
format forimporting with mysqlimport,I previously created the database with
CREATE DATABASE (database in simpliest form).Now,when I use mysqlimport to
import the csv formatted tables it tells that I do not have the table xyz.I
thought themysqlimport command could automatically read the imported file
and create the table with adequate structure and name according to the
read/imported file.The number of tables to import are almost two hundred and
previously creating in MySQL almost two hundred tableswith structure
compatible to the imported database tables is a huge effort.Are there any
easier method to follow?I am a relatively new user of database software.
Thanks.
