It's not skipping any rows. When you select records from a database,
it gets them in the order that is quickest to retrieve them, not the
order they were entered. The "natural" order is how they are stored on
disk. As your database is updated over time, this order may change.
If you have an auto increment column, order it by that value. That
field will have the order the records were imported in.

Hi folks,
I'm trying to use MySQL Migration Toolkit 1.1 with MS SQL server 2005
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html
- basically all is working great - some tables import no problem -
except...
I'm trying to import an address table and in the summary it says that
there's a few problems like:
incorrect string value for column 'street' at row 655
0 rows transferred
The problem is when I try to import just 650 or so, then I go to
phpmyadim
to look - well the rows are not in the original order - they start
with
addressID 1-2-3-4 etc but randomly skips some so there's no way I
can match
the imported row 655 to the addressID (655) (they were in order - no
deletions) - to find the bad field to fix it...
Q: why is it importing rows and seemingly skipping many?
Q: how can I figure out which is the REAL row 655 (without counting
by hand)
to fix the field text string error?
Thanks in advance - dave
