MSSQL to MySQL is a program to
move MSSQL database to MySQL server. Depending on the privileges in the target
MySQL server, an individual can either export MS Access data into new database
or overwrite the contents of an existing MySQL database. In your enterprise if
you are using an open source in your computer and have few MSSQL server
database, then you might want to consider migrating those to MySQL database.
There are some reasons why it is necessary to migrate MSSQL to MySQL database. Some
of them are like:
- To avoid license and support fees of MSSQL Server.
- Unlike MSSQL server, MySQL supports wide range of operating system including several Linux distros, Solaris and Mac.
- To execute a highly scalable database infrastructure.
- To take advantage of several advanced features of MySQL database that has been tested intensively over the years by a wide open source community.
Need of Data Loader to Convert
MSSQL to MySQL
MSSQL server always provides
remote access to servers through RPC mechanisms, but they had the limitation of
being confined to invoking procedures on remote locations. A linked server may
be considered as a more flexible way to achieve the same thing with the added
benefits of remote table access and distributed queries. If you are going to convert
MSSQL to MySQL(WWW) then you must need a data loader. These data loaders are
also beneficial for large scale integration of data. The migration tool also
support multi byte character set, Unicode architecture and maintains database
integrity during conversion of records from MSSQL to MySQL Server.
