I want to transfer data between Mysql and SQL Server databases, but both are hosted online.
I tried to do this thing using odbc, but it did not work. What is the best solution for this task? ODBC/web services/some other method? Please help me to solve this problem.
You could take a look at the Microsoft Sync Framework, it's very flexible and can deal with different databases.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sync/default
There are some database syncing tools already existed. One great tool I can recommend is the Navicat Premium. This tool supports different servers.
Create your own data sync app. It's not so hard to create.

I'm creating a mobile app for an existing website and trying to connect to a local instance I have running on a MySQL workbench. I've seen others recommend against the use of MySQL but I'm stuck with it, since that's the current database. I'm using expo to run my React Native code. Do I need to use a server, like "MAMP?"
Let me know if there is any more info that is needed.
You cannot connect your app directly to your database.
You will need a server/API that acts as an intermediate between the app and the DB. You can code it in most programming languages and if you know PHP, having MAMP on your system will allow you to build your API with PHP.

You should definitely question their reasoning. I've been using MySQL for many years now in small and big projects and it has never been an issue. If they're comparing it to non-relational DBs like Mongo, I can understand, it's easier to setup and maintain a NoSQL database than a relational one.
I assume you're not that experienced but I still purposefully used some terms that may be new to a beginner. Since I don't know your skills, I will refrain from pointing you to specific tutorials/articles.
I recommend you to Google anything you don't understand from this answer.
I need to write a web application, which works only with MySQL database, but all actual data lies within an Oracle. So now i'm looking for some way to syncronize partially or use some automated tools to do that. Or just for a best practice for that case. To be clear, there's no way to use Oracle directly from web applications due to security policies. Any advices?
You can use tungsten replicator http://code.google.com/p/tungsten-replicator/ or also there is option of Data Integration / ETL tools like talend https://www.talend.com/resource/etl.html.
There are two different database servers in different platforms; MySql and Firebird.
I need to get db tables from Firebird server (synchronously or not synchronously) to MySql server.
Timing is not that important.
How do I achieve to get, for example; simply a specific database table from Firebird server to Mysql server?
İt will be very helpful if any ideas come, thank you..
So essentially you would need to develop some sort of process that will extract then transform and load the data from FireBird into MySQL. The problem is that both firebird and MySQL does not have real ETL tools included in them by default. MSSQL has for example SSIS. Since you cant access FireBird directly from MySQL code you will need some external tool to do the job.
Thus you will either have to code this tool yourself or use a open source tool.
There are several ETL tools that are open source and for free that you might want to investigate such as Pentaho, CloverETL see this link for more information.
You told you already found a solution to import CSV into MySQL. So the missing piece is Firebird CSV export
Well, those three words entered into Google give you immediate top result as the free FBExport tool. See http://www.firebirdfaq.org/fbexport.php
Is there a way to use a MYSQL database without the database management system.. Like use tables offline without installing the db management system on the machine..
If there is can you please point me in the right direction?
Thank you!
As far as I know, there is no way to do this.
However, there is a portable DBMS SQLIte. It comes in different ways and can be used on other platform with different programming languages.
After reading your comment, I'm almost sure, this is what you need.
It's not that fast as MySQL I guess, but it works.
You can use The embedded MySQL Server Library to access MySQL data files without running the MySQL server.
You can setup a database to work on your localhost. This will be offline unless you setup the front-end stuff to let the internet interact with it.
What exactly do you mean "without the database management system"? You always need a way of interacting with it, even if it is offline. (Otherwise how can it work for you?)
The server side piece of the application, mysql-server, is needed at a minumum to run mysql. This server application comes with all the tools built-in to manage the instance. I doubt you can prevent installation of this.
If you've actually opened the table files in a hex or text editor, you'll see that you will definitely need the mysql application installed to make any sense of them to use them. Sure the records are all there in plain text (.myd files for myisam, the ibdata1 file for innodb tables), but it would be a complete time-waster devising a custom app to parse or update the file structure, as well as trying to tie in table structure contained in the related files for each table.
I need help in setting up dbdeploy for my SQL Server database and MySQL Server.
The example in the dbdeploy website does not tell me how to set the drivers for SQL Server and MySQL. Am a bit lost.
Sample scripts will be appreciated.
Thanks
As part of some ReadyRoll market research we commissioned a poll in the Simple Talk newsletter which revealed that DBUp is now the most adopted database migrations tool after EF migrations, so it would be worth considering this solution as an alternative to DBDeploy.
(Simple Talk's audience is primarily people who use the .NET/SQL Server stack)
Disclaimer: I work for Redgate and the research described above was focused on understanding how ReadyRoll could provide additional value on existing OSS migrations-based solutions.
I tried to use dbdeploy for my project with MSSQL 2008
But I didn't like it and now for MS SQL we use Agile DBRIRE
