SQL Server 2000 to mySQL Server

2003-08-14 Thread David Alonzo
I'm trying to do an export from an SQL Server 2000 Database to and ODBC driver pointed 
to a mySQL Server Database.  The export works if there is at least one record in the 
mySQL table.  If the mySQL table is empty it gives an error that looks like this:

Insert error, column 1 ('field1', DBTYPE_STR), status 6: Data overflow.

The strange part is that the export works perfectly fine as long as there is one 
record in the mySQL table, if there are no records in the table, I get the error above.

Thank you for your help.

The official mySQL response is that you are overflowing the maxlength
attribute
Although there are many posts where SQLServer to MySQL have caused this
error
the solutions I have seen say go plain text and import using LOAD DATA
INFILE

Greetings

What you need is a tool called SQLyog ( it has the
best ODBC import utility in the market ). A very good
tutorial can be found at http://www.devshed.com in the
MySQL section.

Do tell me how was your experience?

Have them export the tables as CSV files. You can then easily import them 
into MySQL. You will also want them to generate SQL scripts for each table 
so that you can see the MS-SQL that it takes to create those tables - this 
will give you the types and names of the columns... (CSV files can be 
generated to give you the names on the first line, but not the type).

You _should_ be able to find compatible types for each column in order to 
import the data into MySQL. You _may_ need to do some scripting to convert 
things like date/time stamps from MS-SQL to MySQL... and you will need to 
pay attention to differences in functinality.

This should get you started.

Hope this helps,

Problem importing data from SQL server 2000 to mysql

2002-06-24 Thread Roma Gupta

Hi guys,

I want to migrate data from SQL Server 2000 to Mysql.I have two
problems. First is easy one, 

First problem is to migrate big fields which had type varchar(7900) or
so I tried using Text datatype of mysql, is that the right one or I
should have used BLOB. That field doesnt contain any image informtaion
or any special information. Only at one place it stores data which is a
"email"

I am using command

LOAD DATA INFILE "c:/mysql/roma/mailmessagetext_table.txt" INTO TABLE
mailmessagetext_table;

Data which i export from sql server is tab dilimited .

Another problem is, For the field messagetext - varchar(7900), it doesnt
migrate the only migrated few characters, as this field stores emails.
so it has some enter chanracters. SQL server saves them as a special
character. But when i try to import, then Mysql cuts the field at that
special character, and does not take rest of string.

e.g., if i have data like

dear roma,

how are you

thanks

abc



it will import only "dear roma," as it will find a enter character at
the end. I tried using BLob field instead. I tried exporting data using
pipe delimited , that does not work either. 

Please help

Thanks

Roma

Re: SQL Server 2000

2002-01-05 Thread Gerald R. Jensen

Stan:

I don't know as I would call anything involving MSSQL Server 'painless", but
it can be done.

Do a search of the list archive (http://lists.mysql.com/), looking for
'SQL7' or 'MSSQL'. There have been dozens of posts over the last couple of
years describing different ways to approach the task. You should be able to
use the same techniques port MSSQL Server 2000.

Regardless of the technique you use, there will be some editing required on
the table creation scripts. When you get to that, the MySQL Manual is your
friend.

Export to MySQL from SQL Server 2000

2001-07-13 Thread Chris Malloch

Hi,

Newbie to MySQL here.  I am trying to export tables from SQL Server to MySQL 
set up on a virtual server and manage to create the tables when the fields 
contained within them are purely text, but the table creation fails when 
fields are type integer or type datetime.  The error message is as follows -

[TCX][MyODBC]You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'ID char (10) NULL, 
Job Ref integer NULL, JobTitle char (100) NULL, DateAdd' at line 2

I have just used the default settings for export from SQL Server 2000.

All comments would be very gratefully received.

Many thanks in advance,

Chris Malloch
