I'm trying to export data from SQL Server to MySQL using ODBC and I get an error while trying to form a destination point on SSIS.
What seems to be the problem? The table exists in MySQL
UPDATE I have found that the problem is the missing license key because i am using MySQL Provider MySQL Provider Cherry
Does anyone know any free alternatives for MySQL Providers using SSIS Ole Db? I know that ADO .Net has it, but is there an Ole Db free alternative?

My existing on-prem ssis package has the structure wherein it uses lookup transform to upsert the data...
Since it's being migrated to azure SQL cloud database , I am unable to configure the lookup connection to azure SQL database.
Given that lookup only supports Oledb connection manager ,I am unable to find any another appraoch.
Already tried creating ado.net connection manager but the same doesn't appears in lookup.
Since I cant modify the existing structure of package,
Could anyone suggest the alternative way wherein I can setup the connection to azure SQL database.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
OLEDB connection to SQL Azure works perfectly and the lookup connection cannot be other than an OLEDB connection. Therefore you need to update the OLEDB connection as described here to be able to connect to the Azure SQL Database. Provide the SQLAdmin credentials or any login with access to the Azure SQL Database on the OLEDB connection.
Is there any possibility to export and create a link between one of the table from Azure SQL DB to the table in MySQL DB?
Firstly, you can migrate data from SQL server to your MySQL database. And there are many ways can help you achieve that. You can reference this blog :How to migrate SQL Server database to MySQL?.
But for Azure, you could not copy or migrate data from Azure SQL database to your on-premise MySQL DB, even with Azure Data Factory. Azure Data Factory only support MySQL as source server.
Secondly, You want to sync the data between Azure SQL database and your MySQL database. Azure SQL Data Sync only support Azure SQL Database and on-premise SQL Server instance.
This means that Azure could not help you migrate or sync data from Azure SQL data base to MySQL DB. You have to use third-party tools.
One of the ways is you can use MySQL Workbench Migration tool. Database migrations - enables migrations from Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, PostgreSQL, Sybase ASE, Sybase SQL Anywhere, SQLite, and more.
There are many tools to perform the migration from MS SQL Server to MySQL like Amazon DMS or Data Integration (Kettle), but in this case, we’ll use the MySQL Workbench Migration tool.
Please reference this tutorial: How to Migrate from MSSQL to MySQL.
Hope this helps.
I'm currently attempting to clone a MySql database to a MSSQL db using SSIS. I already have done this via scheduled jobs in MSSQL Server Management Studio by using OPENQUERY, but I am trying to move over to SSIS for efficiency.
The issue is that when connecting to MySql with either ado.net or ODBC, SSIS believes the datatypes to be unicode, which they are not.
Any ideas on what is causing this?
in SQL server it's possible to link a mySQL server into msSQL and query it using SSMS for example. I want to try this and use SSIS to do some transformations and store all the data on this mySQL database.
\I read that there a several ways to link to mySQL into the msSQL server. OLE DB, mySQL ODBC etc etc.
2 questions:
Are there any limitations i might run into when i will use a combination of SSIS and mySQL instead of msSQL?
When i link a mySQL database into msSQL and i write a query in SSMS, do i write the queries in mySQL language or msSQL language. For example the difference in TOP and LIMIT
I have worked with a linked MySQL Server from SQL Server in the past and ran into some issues.
Querying MySQL from SSMS (SQL Server)
Once you have created a linked server you would imagine you should be able to use the four-part name and query the tables in MySQL but it doesnt allow you. for example you cannot do something like...
Select * from MySqlServer.DbName.Schema.TableName
For some reason it throws an error. So the question whether I can use T-SQL in SSMS to query a Linked MySQL Server? Nope, unfortunately not.
But alternatively Microsoft recommends using OPENQUERY to execute queries to a linked server.
When using OPENQUERY, SQL Server does not try to parse the query, it just sends it to the linked server as it is. which means you can/should be able to write MySQL in SSMS using OPENQUERY and it will work.
Using SSIS with MySQL
Even though SSIS is Microsoft's tool that comes with SQL Server but it is a proper ETL tool which can read data from multiple sources and send data to many types of destination.
Once you have used the appropriate driver to connect to MySQL and ported data in SSIS package , its really not relevant anymore, where the data came from? you would have access to all the SSIS tools and you should be able to use them as if the data was coming from a flat file, SQL Server or Excel sheet etc.
By using Linked Server in MSSQL you can also connect to mySql. for that you need to download ODBC drivers. and then you have to create new dsn and while creating dsn you have to insert mySql server's details. then you can further search regarding how to create Linked server on SQL SERVER. This option is very easy and Totally free. You can use OPEN QUERY FOR inserting, updating, deleting and also get the data out from mySQL.
We get a MYSQL 5.0 dataset each month (1.7gig) and I need to create a process to migrate this to a SQL Server 2008.
This seems a little harder than I first thought...
I've tried a few ways:
Using the Import wizard
Setting up a linked server
I've also tried different ways:
Using the .net Framework Dataprovider for MYSQL
Using MYSQL ODBC 5.1 driver.
If I try options 1 + 1 (Wizard, using odbc), I get "unable to retrieve column information",
Option 2 + 4, I get a message: "Cannot get the column information from OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "server name"."
This feels like a cache, or size issue, because if I limit the rows I return to less than 300,000 it works. This is more annoying as the main table is over 1.2 million rows.
So my questions two parts: Am I doing this the right or wrong way, and have I missed something obvious?
You can use SQL Server Integration Services to connect to the MySQL database and pull the data you need over. The SSIS team blog has a walk-through for connecting to MySQL at Connecting to MySQL from SSIS. Once you build your SSIS package, you can re-use it each time you get a new data dump.
