How is it so difficult to find out how to do this? All I need is to run some simple SQL to restore our existing database on a new RDS database.
Tried connecting with SQL Server Management Studio, it won't connect.
Tried using the Database Migration Tool, it doesn't make any sense.
All the documentation for this seems to assume I'm trying to move some monumental database with zero downtime. Literally all I need to do is run an SQL file on a RDS database. Does anybody on earth understand how this works??
You can use Native backup and Restore. Amazon RDS supports native backup and restore for Microsoft SQL Server databases using full backup files.
Though it wouldn't work on db.t1.micro DB instance class.
You can add Native Backup and restore option by doing following according to the AWS docs.
Create a new option group, or copy or modify an existing option group.
Add the option to the option group.
Associate the option group with the DB instance.
After you add the Native Backup and Restore option, you don't need to restart your DB instance. As soon as the option group is active, you can begin backing up and restoring immediately.
If you cannot connect to the you need to check your RDS security group. Make sure port 3389 is open to your IP,
There is good documentation for connecting to RDS from the Management Studio here:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_ConnectToMicrosoftSQLServerInstance.html
It states the following:
After Amazon RDS provisions your DB instance, you can use any standard
SQL client application to connect to the DB instance. In this topic
you connect to your DB instance by using either Microsoft SQL Server
Management Studio (SSMS) or SQL Workbench/J.
Also double check that the RDS instance is on a public subnet and that you have allowed public access to it. See those settings in Configure Advanced Settings:

I am trying to set up a connection between Azure MySQL flexible server and Azure SQL database mainly to read data from MySQL and store it in the SQL Server periodically (multiple times a day).
I was thinking of creating a stored procedure inside my SQL Server database; however, I cannot seem to get a connection from the SQL Server into the MySQL database.
I know with ODBC you can connect MySQL to on-prem SQL Server, but unfortunately, there is nothing I have found for the same functionality for Azure SQL Server.
Has anyone done this? Is this possible?
I have tried to set up an ODBC connection, but it did not work as the SQL Server is on Azure.
I tried setting up a linked server inside SQL Server straight to MySQL, but it doesn't seem possible as the SQL Server is not on-prem.
I tried creating external database objects based on the following link.
With all these approaches, my expectation was to surface the MySQL tables from Azure SQL Server/SSMS.
Thank you for your help in advance!
MySql Workbench is the perfect option for connecting the azure database for mysql.
for that we need to create flexible server in azure portal. I created flexible server in azure portal.
Image for reference:
I created database in flexible server by clicking add in in database option. it crated successfully.
Image for refence:
I installed MySQL Workbench in my local system.
you can get your required fields to connect the server in connect tab.
Image for reference:
I connected to the server by filling required fields.
Image for reference:
Click on ok. It connected successfully.
Image for reference:
AFAIK Export the data from Azure mysql flexible server in the form of sql script through MySQL work bench and import that file in Azure sql database through SSMS. IN this we can write data into Azure Sql database.
I have had to create an Azure Function App that contains a Timer function that reads the data from the MySQL data and pushes it to SQL Server every 15 minutes (as were the requirements).
Thank you for everyone for commenting.
It seems you can use Data-in replication.
sorry if title is not so clear, probably I am not finding what I need due I do not know how to search
I have few MySQL servers is separated online servers (from different wordpress) and I want to load some of the data on those databases/tablets into a SQL database located on Azure.
inside Azure portal itself I do not see where to establish external connections, neither at server level, neither at database level
I download and install Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, connect to the server, I can see my databse and the master one, Security with logins, and Integration Service Catalog, nothing else.
I was looking for something like:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/go/db-tutorial-connecting-to-ms-sql-server.html#step-3-connect-to-microsoft-sql-server-with-datagrip
but nowhere ...
maybe something like this:
https://www.devart.com/odbc/mysql/docs/microsoft_sql_server_manager_s.htm
but no Servers objects option available on my SSMS
Can be this done?
Note: Azure database is a basic wfor now, if that is a limitation
Some choices.
In your SQL Server Management Studio create a linked server pointing to each MySQL instance. You found the instructions for that. https://www.devart.com/odbc/mysql/docs/microsoft_sql_server_manager_s.htm But it probably will not work in Azure SQL Server; you don't have access to the underlying Windows OS to install stuff like MySQL ODBC drivers, which you need. (You could ask Azure techsupport if they can help.)
In each MySQL instance, try creating a federated table connection to appropriate table in SQL Server. That cross-vendor federation stuff only works in MariaDB, however; MySQL's federation only goes MySQL <--> MySQL.
Write yourself a purpose-built extract / transform / load (ETL) program, and arrange to run it every so often. Program it to connect to all the servers involved, retrieve the data needing to be transferred from your MySQL servers, and update / insert that data on the SQL server.
(edit) You may be able to use command-line SQL client programs. mysqldump, with its --compatible option, may generate usable INSERT statements in a file. You then may be able to use sqlcmd to run those INSERTs on your Azure server. It's going to take some hacking, and may take using sed(1) or awk(1) to make the MySQL output compatible with SQL Server.
I believe the third option is the most robust one for production use.
I'm a PHP developer by profession. I'm using Ubuntu Linux on my machine.
I don't have any idea about .Net framework and MS SQL Server Express database.
I've received a file titled project_db.bak and I have to convert it into project_db.sql in order to import the same database into MySQL.
I searched over the Internet for the solution. I found couple of answers but they are asking to use MS SQL server tools which I can not. I have to achieve this conversion in some other way.
Can someone please help me in this regard?
MS Sql Server typically generates binary backups, so what you have I guess is a backup. To restore it to a "querable" state you will need MS tools or RESTORE statment someway executed against the Motor (that you will need). Once it was "restored" (that is the reverse to a MS backup) you can dump (in MySql terms) with a tool or with a script
Create a Virtual Machine Windows 7 or better.
In the VM make sure you have a second network card that's set to a private network with your Host so you can connect to your Host MySQL you will need a User in your MySQL Server setup that allows connections from your remote network
in this VM install SQL Server, and SQL Server Management Studio & Navicat from that you can then restore the .bak file, once you have it restored. you will need another external tool that allows you to export as another format for this i use Navicat export is as another format. you can then connect to your MySQL Server and import that exported file.
We're running Linux VM's with MySQL on Azure and want to start using Azure SQL, but need to get the data from one into the other, initially.
Is there a way to dump a mysql database and then import that into an Azure sql database?
I'm on a Mac (or can be on Linux), so the .net tools won't help.
I've tried having Azure use the mysql dump. Reads it, but nope.
I've tried selecting the mysql tables from an open connection and drop them on the Azure db, also in an open connection, via Navicat. Nope.
I also tried looking for something in SQLPro for MSSQL. Nope.
Also, I'm willing to edit the mysql dump if there are minor global things to do so that Azure sql will read it.
You can:
1. Install mysql instance on windows based server.
2. Dump all your databases into there using mysql dump.
3. Use all the spectrum of microsoft tools for your goal.
i have 3 servers for three applications on aws ec2 using MySql database,
now each of the application is having amember that is client subscription app,
it connects with sql databse that is created in each instance
so in this way every amamber app is having diffrent database in each server,
now we are working with a device ROKU we need to pass the XML attributes from amember to it
to varify the user so he can watch online streaming tv.
the objective
now i need to make one database that will be connected with each server using amember
so each server access one database .
Options
my options are aws RDS ,dynamoDb
Now can anyone put me in the right direction, for that.
in simple Words
need to connect my multiple apps (same app) with one database
HELLLLP
If you need to connect to a mysql database, DynamoDB is not the answer. It isn't a mysql database.
RDS is a mysql database. It connects like any other mysql database. You haven't mentioned what language[s] you are using, however. Googling "connect to mysql with [language]" should help.
I think it would be best to stick with relational databases such as MySQL.
Amazon RDS is a managed MySQL solution, but you don't have to use it for your needs.
You can use one of your EC2 instances or a new EC2 instance as the central DB and connect all the other servers to it for quires. There are pros and cons for choosing RDS over your own SQL server. If you have any questions there, feel free to edit your question and add them.
EDIT according to comment
In order to connect your application with the local MySQL. Your are probably using a connection string that points to either "localhost" or "127.0.0.1"... That is the IP of your local machine. You will have to change it to the remote IP of the machine where the DB is stored remotely.
