Can I add a Ubuntu based 64 bit MySQL server as a linked server to a 32 bit SQL Server 2012 ? What do I need to do the same ?
Do I need to install the MySQL ODBC drivers on both Ubuntu and Windows or only Windows ?

Having this problem when trying to install SQL SERVER 2008 .. Need help
I have a MySQL database with several gigabytes of data I want to analyse. I have installed SPSS 22 and I am trying to get it to connect to MySQL using the ODBC Data Source Administrator. It seems fine with Access, MS SQL etc, but I can't get it to connect to MySQL.
I'm using XAMPP 32bit on a Windows 7 64 bit machine. I've installed:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/ (installing the 32bit version to match the version of MySQL)
And when I set up the connections in Win7 Administrative tools -> ODBC Data Course Administrator and I can't see any way to register a MySQL ODBC connection
Am I missing something?
EDIT:
As the OS is 64 bit it requires a 64 bit ODBC connector. Installing the 64 ODBC connector allows me to build a connection, but as the database is 32 bits we get a mismatch and it won't connect.
"architecture mismatch"
Solution would be to install a 64 bit version of XAMPP, but they don't seem to build them
I am running MySQL Workbench on Ubuntu 12.04. MySQL workbench cannot use FreeTDS for migration of MSSQL 2000 to MYSQL, it wants to use iODBC. I cannot find a deb/ubuntu MS SQL 2000 ODBC connector that I can use with iODBC.
All the documentation assumes you are running MySQL Workbench under Windows. I tried that, but had too many issues. Based on 3 days to googeling, trial and error, I think it will work better with MySQL Workbench running the migration from Ubunto instead of Windows.
Does anyone know of an ODBC driver for Ubuntu that will work with MySQL Workbench/iODBC?
Thanks!

To clarify: iODBC is NOT a driver, is a driver manager. FreeTDS is a driver and you need both to use migration wizard. All detailed instructions how to setup you can find in link below:

The MySQL migration forum contains a number of sticky links to various resources that may help you with your task.

My need is to move the MYSQL 5.0 database from my development m/c to actual production m/c,
How I can do this ???
On production m/c MYSQL is not installed, MY SQL 3.5 drivers are present.
but on my m/c MYSQL 5.0 and MYSQLDrivers 5.0 are resent so will on production server 3.5 driver will support 5.0 vertion...If I created DSN with 3.5 will it support database of 5.0?
Thanks
First step would be to install MySQL on the production server. If it's not, then there's no point in doing the migration, is there?
v3.5 drivers should be able to talk to a 5.x database, though you'll probably have some trouble. 3.x is positively stone age these days. Unless you have no control over the production server, there shouldn't be any reason to NOT upgrade to a 5.0/5.1 server and driver set.
I'm new to Sybase and so far it's a monumental pain just to connect to it! Where in the world can I get 64 bit drivers for Sybase ASE 15 so that I can connect from my 64 bit SQL 2008? Our Sybase servers are 32 bit and there are no 64 bit drivers on the media :(
The 64bit sybase client is licensed separately.
If you don't own any you will need to purchase them or migrate an existing 32bit license to 64bit.
