Re: moving data to MySQL
Well, it is just to have a console that is able to connect to every database, ODBC and videogames are one of the few things good about microsoft! I used it to import export data from/to access/sql server/mysql/oracle. Cheers Claudio 2009/2/22 Haidong Ji haidong...@gmail.com Hi, Never thought of the MS Access solution, but it sounds interesting and I am intrigued. If the data volume is not that big, it could be a quick and dirty way of doing it. Sql Server 2005 and Sql Server 2008 Integration Service (SSIS) can do this, but as far as usability is concerned, it is a step back from DTS (Data Transformation Service from Sql Server 7 and Sql Server 2000 days). SSIS has a fairly steep learning curve. I am also for the CSV flat file approach. One could use Sql Server bcp utility to dump tables out as tab delimited file, then import it into MySQL with LOAD DATA INFILE. Sample of bcp command: bcp MyDb.dbo.t1 out c:\junk\t1.txt -c -q -SMySqlServerInstance -T Sample of LOAD DATA command: load data local infile '/home/MyFolder/t1.txt' into table MyDb.t1 lines terminated by 'r\n' It looks like your first task is to restore this backup into a Sql Server database. Sql Server Express management studio might have a GUI way of doing this. If not, here is a sample script: restore database MyDb from disk = 'c:\LocationOfMyDbBackup' with recovery, replace, move 'MyDbLogicalDataFile' to 'c:\MyDirectory\MyDb.mdf', move 'MyDbLogicalLogFile' to 'c:\MyDirectory\MyDb.ldf' Regards, Haidong Alex Ji http://www.HaidongJi.com/tech On Sat, Feb 21, 2009 at 5:48 PM, Claudio Nanni claudio.na...@gmail.comwrote: Hi, Using ODBC Drivers and MS Access you can do the job.
