 Does anyone know a free tool to convert MySQL to MSSQL

mysqldump?

Seriously, what do you expect? A tool which transforms mysql files on disk to 
mssql files? I don't think this exists and would probably be hardly possible. 
Perhaps there are tools reading from a (mysql) db and writing to another 
(mssql) database via a programming language. But conversion of database 
files? I don't think this exists.

 Thank you

So all I can do is copy tables  as they already exist?  I obviously need
to keep the structure in place

phpMyAdmin (http://www.phpmyadmin.net/) version 2.6.3-pl1 has the option
to export the data in mssql format (and much others).

You need a php enabled web server able to connect to your mysql database.

RE: free MySQL conversion to MSSQL tool

2005-07-28 Thread J.R. Bullington
Although finding a tool that will automatically transfer files from MySQL to
MS SQL format will be hard to do, both will accept txt files that have the
CREATE statements and data in SQL.

mysqldump will do this for you.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysqldump.html 

Just export the files to an .SQL file and load it into MS SQL.

So your command will be something like:
shell /path/to/mysql/bin/mysqldump --opt -u [username] -p
[password]  File_Name.SQL

If you want a tool to do it for you, try dbTools software
(http://www.dbtools.com.br). It lets you copy tables from one database to
another, is PHP/ASP/JSP independent (as it is 3rd party), and has other data
management tools. However, you must have a Windows box in order to use it. I
do not believe they make a Linux version.

HTH,
J.R.
