I have a SQL Server database with lots of data and an empty MySQL database. Now I want to copy all data of SQL Server database (including the database schema) to the MySQL database.
I thought about using raw SQL dump, but SQL Server's SQL syntax is not same as MySQL.
And I have googled some database migration tool, such as south (only for django), simple-db-migration (only for one type of database, maybe PostreSQL?) and SQLAlchemy (I haven't finished learning it, just feeling it somewhat clunky).
What tool can I use to do this migration?
I'm usually using opendbcopy for these kind of jobs ...
I tried this tool once http://dbconvert.com/convert-mssql-to-mysql-pro.php , but you have to pay for the full version. Of course you can write your own migration script e.g. in PHP. On Windows it will be easy to connect to MSSQL server, from a Linux machine you have to use ODBC and that is sometimes a bit messy to install and configure.

I have SQL database with huge amount of data. I want to create backup DB server using free databsase (e.g.Mysql) which will be back up server of SQL database. How can I do this ?
If your primary db is on SQL Server and backup is MySQL you can copy table by table only.
I would recommend using SSIS package to copy data between DBs and schedule the SSIS package as job so backup is done automatically.
Note: this copies data only. Your Views, Stored Procs wont get copied and they wont be compatible too.
Plan B : You can use FREE SQLServer Express edition as backup server (instead of MySQL) and do a traditional SQLServer backup (one .bak per db) and restore it in SQL Server Express. This way your script will be backed up.
Hope this helps

I am working on a project with MongoDB database but in Opencart database configuration there isn't an option for NoSQL database. I'd like to integrate Opencart into my project. Can someone guide me how to use Opencart using MongoDB? Is it possible that Opencart only uses MySQL database?
Is it possible that Open cart only uses MySQL database?
All of the internal queries in Opencart are written in SQL and you can (in theory) use any database which supports it like Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft SQL Server, Access, Ingres, PostgreSQL and of course MySQL. According to the MongoDB docs:
Does MongoDB support SQL?
No. However, MongoDB does support a rich query language of its own.
For examples on using MongoDB’s query language, see MongoDB CRUD
Operations
You'll need to choose a database that supports SQL.

I'm a bit confused of this and I just want to ask: which one is a better database for our project?
Our project is a library system using bar code and a online website for the reservation of books and for the user to view if the book is available or not...
Both system and website mush have one database.
I just wanted to ask this because I'm confused about these 2 databases.
I already tried using the workbench of mysql and people keep saying that I should use sql in wamp. But I don't know the difference and what will be the outcome in storing data in our system and web.
This question is both subjective and unclear, but I'll try to add some information regardless:
WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP) isn't a database, it's a software stack using mySQL as the database.
By definition, you can't use WAMP (ie PHP) if you're using VB.NET: You're using WIMVB (Windows, IIS, MySQL or another database, and VB)
If you're using .NET, it usually makes sense to complete the Microsoft stack and use SQL Server, making your stack into: Windows, IIS, SQL Server and VB.NET (Although I'd recommend using C#.NET, not VB, as you'll it more widespread while being every bit as capable.
MySql would be a better choice for most applications, in my opinion. It as a good connector for .Net, and will be more flexible down the road. I would be more likely to use WAMP for a simple application with little chance for later enhancements -- a quick one-time app.

I'm trying to edit my MySQL database after a long time of taking a rest, and I'm pretty confused what's what. Do you know of any application or a way in which I could import or merge my db on server into an application that will not only allow me to work with the database on my local pc, but be able to view the structure and relations visually?
Thank you :)))
You can use the MySQL Workbench [1]. There you can generate a ERD (=Model) from your remote and/or local MySql Database. Furthermore you can manage your user accounts, edit tables and datas and much much more...

Head on over here http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/
The Mysql Workbench included in the installer should help
