I have similar schema in both MySQL and MSSQL Server databases. How can I migrate just the data from MySql to an empty (no data) MSSqlServer database? MSSqlServer DB is empty with just the schema. I could not configure the MySql DB as a linked server (through ODBC) since I don't have DB Admin rights on MSSqlServer. I just have previleges to add data. I explored Sql Server Migration Assistant for MySQL, but I just want to migrate data without touching the schema at the target.
I also noticed that there is a SqlBulkCopy class which helps to programatically migrate data in .NET.
But I need to write code for each table (there are more than 100 tables and 20 GB of data).
What is the most elegant way to do it?
SSMA might be the easiest. Since you don't wanna use that, you can try using mysqldump. You can use it to essentially dump a MySQL db to SQL Server.
Link to the SSMA blog, they update these tools regularly, so check for a later version. SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) Team's Blog

I have a MySQL database contains large amount of data.
I wanted to write a C# service program to migrate that data into SQL Server database.(Service should work fine with Insert as well as update with out performance issue).
Please help us if there is a way to accomplish this. If there is another way to achieve this is also fine. But, the MySQL client is not present in the local machine. But we could access the database from the server.
You can use the import and export functions in sqlserver, after installing a odbc mysql
How can I migrate mysql tables to an already existing sql database.I have tried using sql server migration assistant for mysql tool, but it migrates entire database to a new database in sql server.Is it possible to transfer mysql tables to existing sql database?
Please help
If you have MySQL workbench and you only need the table structures you can select the tables that you need then:
Right Click > Copy to clipboard > Create Statement
Then past these into your new database an excecute
you can create a linked server the target system; this way you can import the tables selecting the data into the new tables on sql server.
if you already have the DDL migrated then you can fill the tables otherwise you can create the tables while copying the data.
with little scripting you can have the SQL code needed to copy the data ready in minutes.
there are many SO posts about interacting with MySQL from SQL-Server:
Can't create linked server - sql server and mysql
SELECT * FROM Linked MySQL server
Do I have to use OpenQuery to query a MySQL Linked Server from SQL Server?
Have you tried the Import/Export Wizard from within SQL Server Management Studio - it's essentially SSIS (an ETL tool) behind the scenes. It allows you to select specific objects, do transforms and such. I'd expect you'd be able to use a standard ODBC driver.
MSSQLTips has an article that seems relevant:

Everywhere i find migrating from Mysql to sql but not Sql to Mysql
You should try MySQL Workbench which can easily do a migration from SQL Server (and Azure DB) to MySQL. The migration can be on the fly or it can result in some .sql scripts that you have to load in you MySQL database using your regular client (phpMyAdmin, EMMA or of course, MySQL Workbench).
You can find additional information about the migration capabilities of MySQL Workbench here.
I have created database in microsoft sql server 2005 can i use that particular database in mysql server 5.0 .
There is no common way to perform such kind of migration because of much of differences between these two RDBMS.
The quick suggestion can be: export you MSSQL database into SQL file, open it via favorite text editor, remove MSSQL specific instructions, and load into MySQL using mysql console tool.
This way should be OK for non-complex databases without complex constraints, foreign keys and stored procedures.
Otherwise, you'll need to rewrite these type of database artifacts using MySQL dialect.
I have 2 databases, one is MS Access DB from an old website, and the other one is MYSQL from the new Joomla+VirtueMart based website.
I need to migrate existing products from MS Access to MYSQL.
I thought of putting both on server and writing SQL queries in MYSQL workbench, untill I have a good script for that, but I'm very new to SQL, so I'd rather avoid that.
I there a better way and more efficient for that?
You can always export to CSV and import that in MySQL.
you can use tools like Database Workbench
MySQL provides a free graphical tool called "MySQL Migration toolkit" which automates the migration of Access 2003 MDB files (schema + data) into MySQL.
