I am not able to configure Extractor agent for Microsoft SQL Server. I get the below error while configuring the agent:
Warehouse vendor : Microsoft SQL Server AWS DMS doesn't support data
warehouses from the specified vendor. Enter one of the supported data
warehouse vendors: Oracle, Teradata, Netezza, Microsoft SQL Server,
Greenplum, Vertica. To keep the current value, press Enter...
Even though I am giving the right warehouse vendor i.e. Microsoft SQL Server, it is still not getting picked and giving the above mentioned error.
Thanks in advance :)

I'm currently trying something I've never done before - I'm trying to access MySQL data in an SQL Server environment. Where I am, we have two servers (the MySQL and MSSQL servers), and each stores different types of data. Recently I've found a need to write queries that include data for both servers. One of the ways I read to do this is adding a "Linked Server" in SQL Server. But try as I might I cannot seem to get a Linked Server added.
I am working on a Windows 7 system, our SQL Server instance is 2005, and the MySQL version is 5.5.31.
What I've done so far is this:
Downloaded and installed the MySQL ODBC drivers
Created a System DSN using that driver for the MySQL database, called "Production". (I also tested the connection from the Data Sources application and it connects just fine).
Checked for the Provider in SQL Server (MSDASQL) to configure options such as "allow nested queries" and "allow 'LIKE' operator"
right click on Linked Servers in Server Objects in SQL Server > "New Linked Server"
From here, I fill out the linked server info like this:
Checked "Other data source" (not SQL Server)
Chose Provider "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers"
Product Name: "Production"
Data Source: (the name of the System DSN) Production
Then in the security tab, I chose the "Connections will be made using this security context" and provided my username and login for the MySQL server.
Then this is where I run into an error every time. I always get the following error message:
The linked server has been created but failed a connection test. Do you want to keep the linked server?
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.ConnectionInfo)
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "FLUX".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "FLUX" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=09.00.5000&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=7303&LinkId=20476
If you click that link for help, by the way, nothing shows up.
I saw other people suggested trying an older MySQL ODBC driver, adding a System Data Source for the 32bit driver as well as the 64bit driver, and restarting my machine (not the DB server) -- none of these fixed my error.
What I do not understand is why my System DSN seems to work and connect fine, but SQL Server cannot see the Data Source. Does anyone see what I'm missing, or what I might be configuring incorrectly?
EDIT
Clarified that I restarted my local machine, but not the DB server since trying to add the Linked Server.
From everything you've said, you probably have a mismatch between bitnesses of SQL Server 2005 components and the installed ODBC Driver for MySQL.
System DSNs are definitely the way to go.
You probably will need to install both the 32-bit and 64-bit ODBC driver, and configure an identical (same name and everything!) System DSN with each.
I would say you may also want/need to install this patch it was useful for getting XP and 2003 to work properly for ODBC type connections for me.

Is your Database server on the same machine on which you have Sql Server Management Studio Installed? If the SQL Server is on a remote machine then you need to install the ODBC driver on remote Machine and create the DSN there as per link
I was having the same issue but the above link solved my problem.
I have used the wizard from http://sqlazuremw.codeplex.com/ to move my database from:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP3) - 10.0.5500.0 (X64)
Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) (VM)
to
Microsoft SQL Azure (RTM) - 11.0.9164.122
Which worked great, but there was a table with over a gigabyte of rubbish data. So I stopped the process. Now it copied a table structure, but forgot to fill the content. I will have to fix this manually with query:
-- when connected to the azure db
select into azureDb.dbo.tablename select * onPremisesServer.onPremisesDb.dbo.tablename
But when I execute it, I get:
Msg 40515, Level 15, State 1, Line 16
Reference to database and/or server name in 'onPremisesServer.onPremisesDb.dbo.tablename' is not supported in this version of SQL Server.
I have found Cannot get Linked Servers to work in Sql Azure and it says that it is client related. So I looked up my version of SSMS:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 11.0.3128.0
So that cannot cause this. I have also had troubles with the 'onPremisesServer' being just an ip address and had to execute select name from sys.servers to find a server alias instead of using [ipadres] for onPremisesServer. Still cannot get it to work. The tables have exactly the same schema.
edit as DeicLone123 mentioned, I used import and export data. I have renamed the table to tablename-old on azure and ran the wizard and got:
I used the 3.x again from http://sqlazuremw.codeplex.com/ to migrate just that last table. Easy as that! Manually transferring the data, column types etc. is a real pain.. So this open source migration tool is really recommended!
I'm trying to replicate a Linked Server from a Windows 2k3 / SQL Server 2000 to a Windows 2008 / SQL 2008 R2 setup.
The SQL 2000 Linked server is setup like this:
srvname=blah.blah.com
srvproduct=SQL Server
providername=SQLOLEDB
datasource=blah.blah.com
srvnetname=blah.blah.com
rpc=1
rpcout=1
dataaccess=1
The SQL 2008 R2 Linked Server is setup the same way.
I've copied the remote users, and all seems fine, except when i tried to connect, I get this error:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "blah.blah.com" returned message "Client unable to establish connection". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 20)
Encryption not supported on SQL Server
I still have access to the SQL 2000 machine, and can run the query fine. I'm guessing the issue is that Windows2008 machine is trying to send data encrypted, but the linked server is saying it can't handle encryption. Something along those lines. I've played with various different Data Source types, and nothing seems to pan out. I don't have access to the remote server so I don't know what OS/Database is on it.
Anyone with more SQL knowledge than me can point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Hooray! I've done it. For anyone that may find this issue in the future, this is what I did:
Create ODBC connection to SOMESERVER.COM, call it dsnSOME
Driver: SQL Server
Name: dsnSOM
Server: SOMESERVER.COM
Create a Linked Server to dsnSOM:
Linked server: "SOMESERVER" (I don't think it matters)
Provider: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
Product Name: dsnSOME
Data source: dsnSOME
And that's it. Now when I call the stored procedure I call:
[SOMESERVER].database.owner.storedprocedure
And it works!
It seems that for whatever reason, when trying to run a stored procedure on SQL 64 bit to a SQL 32 bit linked server directly, it gives this weird message about Encryption. However going through the ODBC and it works great.
Are there any free solutions for automatically migrating a database from MySQL to SQL Server Server that "just works"?
I've been attempting this simple (at least I thought so) task all day now. I've tried:
SQL Server Management Studio's Import Data feature
Create an empty database
Tasks -> Import Data...
.NET Framework Data Provider for Odbc
Valid DSN (verified it connects)
Copy data from one or more tables or views
Check 1 VERY simple table
Click Preview
Get Error:
The preview data could not be
retrieved. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
ERROR [42000] [MySQL][ODBC 5.1
Driver][mysqld-5.1.45-community]You
have an error in your SQL syntax;
check the manual that corresponds to
your MySQL server version for the
right syntax to use near
'"table_name"' at line 1 (myodbc5.dll)
A similar error occurs if I go through the rest of the wizard and perform the operation. The failed step is "Setting Source Connection" the error refers to retrieving column information and then lists the above error. It can retrieve column information just fine when I modify column mappings so I really don't know what the issue is.
I've also tried getting various MySql tools to output ddl statements that SQL Server understand but haven't succeeded.
I've tried with MySQL v5.1.11 to SQL Server 2005 and with MySQL v5.1.45 to SQL Server 2008 (with ODBC drivers 3.51.27.00 and 5.01.06.00 respectively)
There are two free toolkits provided by Microsoft.
Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant for MySQL v1.0
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=14280
Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant for MySQL v5.1
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=26712
I have used only the second one and it worked for me without any glitch.
It required registration with Microsoft for downloading a license file.
But it is free to use for everyone.
This is really old now, but if you use MySQL Connector NET and set SQL Server Mode = true in the connection string, this will resolve your error.
Recently, I have successfully migrated the MySQL database to MSSQL database. Below are detailed steps:

8. You might have some problem listed here. Please read in detail where I have written the detail resolution.
MySql 5.6 to MSSql server 2014 migration : ExecuteReader requires an open and available Connection
I am afraid there is no simple solution. SQL used in MySQL and T-SQL used in SQL Server 200X are different dialects of SQL. It is not only simple changing say "auto_increment" to "identity", but reserved words that creates a problem.
For example
CREATE TABLE test (
user varchar(50)
)
will work in MySQL and fail in SQL Server 2008.
To cut long story short - unfortunately, you will need to do it by hand.
Export the file from MySQL to a CSV file.
Export the create statements for the tables from MySQL
Cry.
3a. Disable foreign key checks in SQL server
Tune the create statements in SQLserver until they work.
Import the CSV files in to MySQL.
5a. Enable foreign key checks in SQL server.

Had similiar issue about this error 42000, and for me I figured out that setting the MySQL global mode to ansi_quotes would solve it:
set global sql_mode=ansi_quotes;
There are commercial solutions, but not free solutions. Depending on complexity of your database, rewriting SQL for target dialect can be trivial task - or a very hard one.
Rewriting CREATE TABLE statements is never hard, it can be done by hand with no surprises. Procedures, functions and triggers are problematic.
I've been put in charge of migrating a customer's website of MS SQL/ASP to PHP/MYSQL. I have zero experience with MS SQL.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to get the current data migrated to MySQL so I can begin PHP development.
Some details:
I downloaded SQL Server Mangement Studio Express. I found the following string in a connection file:
MM_connCompanyName_STRING = "provider=SQLOLEDB;data source=IP_ADDRESS;database=DATABASENAME;uid=USERNAMEpwd=PASSWORD;"
Using the IP, username, and password from this string, I could successfully connect using Studio Express.
I downloaded the MySQL Migration Toolkit and entered the same info, but get the following error:
Connecting to source database and retrieve schemata names.
Initializing JDBC driver ...
Driver class MS SQL JDBC Driver
Opening connection ...
Connection jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://IP_ADDRESS:1433/DATABASENAME;user=USERNAME;password=PASSWORD;";charset=utf-8;domain=
The list of schema names could not be retrieved (error: 0).
ReverseEngineeringMssql.getSchemata :Login failed for user 'USERNAME'.
I don't have admin or physical access to the current SQL server. I've tried to run some exports through Studio Express, but it saves them to the file system, which I don't have access to.
I can reach the current/old webmaster, but because he no longer works for the company, his responses are slow and usually un-helpful. So no help there...
The former admin sent me an MDF file ... no idea what to do with that.
I found this note above the connection info on the current server (if it means anything):
'this connection is being used because
ODBC was causing weird errors,
switching to OLEDB fixed them
My questions:
Any idea why this would be failing with the same login credentials that works with Studio Express? I'm assuming it has something to do with the driver, but I don't know what next steps to take.
Is there a better/easier/more effective way to migrate this data? (I'm hoping I don't find myself running "SELECT *" statements in Studio Express and copy/pasting data into Excel...please god, no)
Thanks in advance for your help.
Eww, this is going to be scary (connection string indicates it was tool generated from Dreamweaver, never a good sign).
Any idea which version of SQL Server? You should be able to SELECT ##VERSION. 10.x is 2008, 9.x is 2005 and 8.x is 2000. If it is 7.x run.
The MDF file is the actual database. If I were you, I would buy a developer edition of SQL 2005 (or 8 if it is 2008 which is unlikely), it will be worth the $99 or so it costs.
This will give you the ability to locally install the DB by ATTACHing the MDF file. Once you have a locally running copy, you can use the SQL Server ETL tools with the MySql ODBC drivers to push the data to MySql in a repeatable manner.
I believe you can export data from MSSQL choosing different SQL dialects; I believe there's one that's reasonably MySQL compatible. It doesn't solve all your problems, of course, because while you may get the structure properly, stored procedures and triggers and the like will take a bit more work. But that should get you started.
