I want to use exist db on mysql from mvc asp.net.
I installed mysql plugin for vs and mysql connector net.
Add connection string to config.
When I start vs in server explorer I see working connection, but when in project I try to add new ado.net entity data model -> generate from database wizard don't know about mysql in general, there are defaultconnection to MS sql and only two varients for new connection:
Microsoft SQL Server
Microsoft SQL Server Database file
Other
Maybe I forgot something install?
Thanks for help.

The exception says that there is a network related problem, or that the SQL server does not allow remote access, none of those are true.
Can it be that I'm trying to connect a MySQL server, and not MS SQL?
Thanks
It is because the System.Data.SqlClient namespace is designed for Microsoft SQL Server, to connect to MySQL you will need to download and reference the MySQL .NET Connector http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/. You will then use the System.Data.MySqlClient namespace. Hope this helps.
Im trying to get Entity Data Model with wizard from remote MySQL server. I'm typing proper connection string, then choose next. I see all tables, i can check them. When wizard finished im getting no entity models and this errors:
Unable to generate the model because of the following exception: 'The provider did not return a ProviderManifestToken string.
Access denied for user 'myserver'#'myIP' (using password: NO)
P.S. Server Explorer and database sets working fine, I can write/read table data.
Environment:
Database:
Windows 2008 Server R2 (Enterprise)
MySQL Workbench 5.2
MySQL Connector Net 6.4.4
Client:
Windows 7 64bit Professional
Visual Studio 2010
MySQL Connector 6.4.4
.NET Framework 4
My Connection String:
metadata=res://*/Model1.csdl|res://*/Model1.ssdl|res://*/Model1.msl;provider=MySql.Data.MySqlClient;provider connection string="server=myserver;User Id=myID;database=myDatabase;password=myPassword"
I ran into similar issues. The connection string was good, and I could grab data from my application, server browser, etc. But whenever I tried to update the schema, the Entity framework would ignore the password in the config.
Workaround - Temporarily give the anonymous user all the necessary permissions on your mysql instance (in my case, local to my machine, so no security threats) and run the model update from Visual Studio. This way, a password won't be necessary.
Once all the entities are updated, go back and revert the permissions to the way they were.
It's not ideal, and I still don't know what the issue is, but it got me past the problem.
I have installed the latest .net connector, I can add MySQL databases as Data Sources, I can even browse through the data from Business Intelligence Studio.
The problem is that I cannot create a datasource view, or if I do create one without tables, trying to add them after the fact gives me the same error.
Specifically it looks like the data source view wizard tries to submit queries against the MySQL database using square brackets/braces, and the query bombs.
I get an error message like:
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 '[my_db].[cheatType]' at line 2
How can this be done?
Get the MySQL ( 6.3.5 ) .net connector ( from MY SQL )
Edit the connection string ( in the designer paste in the connection string ) so that it has the new "SQL SERVER MODE=True" option.
Apparently it affects performance - but what can you do
My sample connection string...(passwords & userids omitted )
server=svr215;User Id=;password=;Persist Security Info=True;database=dw;sql server mode=true
For any of you facing this issue more recently, there are two approaches that you may want to consider as well
Use the DevArt dotConnect connector at http://www.devart.com/dotconnect/mysql/. Using the .NET data source, you can connect your SSAS cube directly to MySQL.
Some have worked with doing OpenQuery connections to MySQL by connecting to SQL Server for the DSV and then using a linked server connection to MySQL. Some of those details are noted within http://dennyglee.com/2012/09/26/sql-server-analysis-services-to-hive/.
Try using Caps when adding it to the connection string:"....;Sql Server Mode=True"
Tried using named queries instead of tables?
Create a new named query in the DSV, as SELECT * FROM MySQLTable, then build in the DSV on top of that.
I would recommend using SQL Server. You will save yourself a lot of time and headache trying to do it this way. If your tables don't need transforming, just use SSIS to move the data from MySQL to SQL Server.
This is what we did at my previous employer - OLTP was MySQL and we built the warehouse in SQL Server, then used SSAS off of that warehouse for the cube.
I have tried with Visual Studio 2015 and SQL Server Data Tools 2015 on Windows 7 Machine, experiencing problems with the following versions:
net connector 7.0.4
net connector 7.0.3
net connector 7.0.2
net connector 6.9.8
net connector 6.9.7
net connector 6.9.6
net connector 6.9.5
net connector 6.9.4
net connector 6.9.3
net connector 6.9.2
net connector 6.9.1
net connector 6.9.0
net connector 6.3.5
from here: https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/c-net/
As a result:
The SSIS is working but SQL builder always failing.
The SSAS is not woriking as it cannot retrieve the database schema.
Finally, after hours i got it working with the following installation of new product of MYSQL Community from here: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/file/?id=466291
Now, the only problem i expirienced was that the connector was unable to translate some queries due schema mapping, so setting sqlservermode=true to the connection string will fix that problem too!
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:
Operating System: AWS Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 with SQL Server Standard
Tools Used:
SQL Server 2014 Management Studio SQL Developer,

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.
