I had a very similar issue today - I needed to copy a big table 5 millions rows  from MySql into MS SQL   Here are the steps I ve done under Ubuntu Linux     Created a table in MS SQL which structure matches the source table in MySql  Installed MS SQL command line  https   docs microsoft com en-us sql linux sql-server-linux-setup-tools ubuntu Dumped table from MySql to a file     mysqldump       --compact       --complete-insert       --no-create-info       --compatible mssql       --extended-insert FALSE       --host   MYSQL HOST        --user   MYSQL USER        -p  MYSQL PASS          MYSQL DB          TABLE      FILENAME     In my case the dump file was quite large  so I decided to split it into a number of small pieces 1000 lines each  - split --lines 1000   FILENAME  part- Finally I iterated over these small files  did some text replacements  and executed the pieces one by one against MS SQL server     export SQLCMD  opt mssql-tools bin sqlcmd  x 0  for file in part-  do   echo  Exporting file   file  into MS SQL   x thousand s  processed       replaces    with      sed -i  s         g    file       removes all     sed -i  s    g    file       allows to insert records with specified PK id    sed -i  1s   SET IDENTITY INSERT  TABLE ON  n     file       SQLCMD  -S   AZURE SERVER  -d   AZURE DB  -U   AZURE USER  -P   AZURE PASS  -i   file    echo      echo       x    x 1   done  echo  Done    Of course you ll need to replace my variables like  AZURE SERVER   TABLE   e t c  with yours   Hope that helps

Use SQL Server Migration Assistant  SSMA     In addition to MySQL it supports Oracle  Sybase and MS Access   It appears to be quite smart and capable of handling even nontrivial transfers  It also got some command line interface  in addition to GUI  so theoretically it can be integrated into some batch load process   This the current download link for MySQL version https   www microsoft com en-us download details aspx id 54257  The current  June 2016  stable version 6 0 1 crashes with the current  5 3 6  MySQL ODBC driver while transferring data  Everything 64 bit   The 5 3 version with the 5 1 13 ODBC driver works fine

Here is my approach for importing  sql files to MS SQL    Export table from MySQL with --compatible mssql and --extended-insert FALSE options   mysqldump -u  username  -p --compatible mssql --extended-insert FALSE db name table name  gt  table backup sql Split the exported file with PowerShell by 300000 lines per file    i 0  Get-Content exported sql -ReadCount 300000      i         Out-File out  i sql  Run each file in MS SQL Server Management Studio   There are few tips how to speed up the inserts   Other approach is to use mysqldump    where option  By using this option you can split your table on any condition which is supported by where sql clause

I suggest you to use mysqldump like so   mysqldump --compatible mssql  phpMyAdmin is still a web-app and could potentially have some limitations for large databases  script execution time  allocatable memory and so on

I found a way for this on the net  It demands a little bit of work  because it has to be done table by table  But anyway  I could copy the tables  data and constraints into a MS SQL database   Here is the link  http   www codeproject com KB database migrate-mysql-to-mssql aspx

For me it worked best to export all data with this command   mysqldump -u USERNAME -p --all-databases --complete-insert --extended-insert FALSE --compatible mssql  gt  backup sql   --extended-insert FALSE is needed to avoid mssql 1000 rows import limit   I created my tables with my migration tool  so I m not sure if the CREATE from the backup sql file will work   In MSSQL s SSMS I had to imported the data table by table with the IDENTITY INSERT ON to write the ID fields   SET IDENTITY INSERT dbo app warehouse ON  GO  INSERT INTO  app warehouse    id    Name    Standort    Laenge    Breite    Notiz   VALUES  1  01   Bremen  250 120      SET IDENTITY INSERT dbo app warehouse OFF  GO    If you have relationships you have to import the child first and than the table with the foreign key

Run   mysqldump -u root -p your target DB --compatible mssql  gt  MSSQL Compatible Data sql   Do you want to see a process bar    pv mysqldump -u root -p your target DB --compatible mssql  gt  MSSQL Compatible Data sql

User · Answer

If you do an export with PhpMyAdmin  you can switch sql compatibility mode to  MSSQL   That way you just run the exported script against your MS SQL database and you re done   If you cannot or don t want to use PhpMyAdmin  there s also a compatibility option in mysqldump  but personally I d rather have PhpMyAdmin do it for me
