I'm using Mysql Workbench to convert a sql server database to mysql. Everything's working fine, except that text fields are cut after a few words. The field type is varchar(8000). Any ideas how this could be solved? Thanks!
Edit: OK, I know what the problem is now: collation. Is there a way to migrate only data into an existing mysql-database?

I am trying to migrate a SQL Server database to a MySQL database.
I tried doing same using MySQL Workbench but for some driver related reasons, I am unable to have it work for me.
I also tried online converter tool , http://www.sqlines.com/online
This works fine but I have to manually copy paste 5000 lines every time and convert and again do for next 5000 lines. This is too tedious as my SQL Server database is approx 10GB. Also text editors crash while opening this huge SQL Server file containing exported data.
I need smarter and accurate way possible.
Please help. Thank you.
i have a WordPress site and had created a database in my host within phpMyAdmin.
since SQL server is much more easier to use ratter than phpMyAdmin, I switched to SQL server and made another database with tables and records in it.
now i want to transfer my DB from SQL server to phpMyAdmin, beside my old database that i created before.
I tried export and import but i got a lot of errors!
I would be thankful if anyone can help
I'm running a migration for a MS SQL database to a MySQL database. One of the tables in the MS SQL instance has bullets in a VARCHAR field. When these are migrated over to MySQL, the bullets change to ? instead. The collation doesn't seem to be an issue because the MySQL database will save the bullets correctly if I enter them manually.
Anyone have any ideas on what I can check to get them to migrate properly or does this just seem like an issue with the migrator itself?
I ended up running find and replace queries on both databases before and after the migration. Not an ideal fix, but it works.
So I have a point of sale software that is using WAMP Server locally. Ive set up a Ubuntu server with MySQL. I'm trying to move the sql server on wamp from the windows machine to the ubuntu machine. Everything imports fine. But the original database fields are all lower case and for some unknown reason it seems my point of sales is looking for uppercase fields. I dont really understand whats happening.
All I know is that if i import the sql file into the unix system, and point the pos software at the sql db it says that it doesn't detect the database and then trys to recreate the fields with capital titles.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Take a look at this: Why my tables' names are converted into lowercase in phpmyadmin?
You need to change your configuration so lower_case_table_names is 0.
Just a quick question; after reading the online help and workbench documentation it is unclear if when migrating a database from one server to another it will copy or cut the database? I need the database on both servers.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Migrating a database means to copy all its data and meta data (provided there are equivalents on MySQL side for source types). There's no problem of course if you migrate MySQL to MySQL.
