Importing/Exporting Sql Server 2008 database into MySQL - mysql

I have a relatively large database in SQL Server 2008R2 that I need to export to MySql. I tried the "Import and Export Data" option for SQL Server but it provides no option for exporting to MySQL
Please assist with the possible way on how to achieve this.

There's an open source application at sourceforge named MSSQL2MySQL that might work for you.

If I was you. I would have gone for Navicat
Its a brilliant software and a very simple UI to import and export data within different types of server
Cheers!!

Importing .bak from MSSQL into MySQL database

My companies site uses a mysql database. One of our clients just trying to take advantage of our API is only able to give us the data in the form of a MSSQL .bak file
I have been trying to import the file using the migration tool built inot mysql workbench but have no luck.
On top of that I am trying to see if this can be done in powershell as I would like to automate this process in the future.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated
You cannot. MS SQL Server backups are proprietary to MS SQL Server and cannot be used with any other RDBMS. You will need to restore this backup to SQL Server, then use an additional tool to transfer the data from SQL Server into MySQL.
Can you do that second portion through PowerShell? Probably. Though SSIS would probably be a better method.

From MySQL to SQL Server Migrating and Mapping Tables

I have a running system on Java and MySQL. Moving the system to .NET environment. I also optimized the db tables on MS SQL which should be filled with the data from MySQL db. So i need to map the tables where to go because they are seperated now. How can i do that? What are the alternatives and the best way for it?
Thanks in advance.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) is a great tool for migrating data between 2 points. You can also use the Import/Export Wizard (right click the database, Tasks, Import Data) that is included in SQL Server as a starting point.

MySQL Front-end Software

I have a MySQL database, I need to have an Excel-like front-end so that the system administrator can import Excel/CSV files directly into the database.
I used to use Navicat, but there was some problem with doing this. Is there any freeware that has the same functionality?
Thanks!
I use also Navicat for MySQL and frankly I do not experience problems importing/exporting Excel/CSV data...
Anyway, you can try HeidiSQL, MySQL-Front or DevArt MySQL Studio...

MySQL just added a migration tool to migrate into their Workbench tool. Details can be found here. I fail to see how it's going to migrate anything more than the most noddy database, but it might work.
The new Migration Wizard that comes with MySQl Workbench 5.2.41 will help you to migrate both the tables and their data. You can have an overview of its capabilities here:
How-To: Guide to Database Migration from Microsoft SQL Server using MySQL Workbench
Best thing to achive data migration is to use so ETL tools.This helps:
Fast data migration
Accurate data migration
Reusable jobs in future
Scheduling etc
For MySql I prefer using Talend Open Studio ETL tool which is open source and you can download it free.
Or you can also use SQL server SSIS.

Databases: Migrate data between MS Access DB and MYSQL

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.

Here's another link using the ODBC technology
