How to migrate my database from SQL Server to MySQL?

Your question leaves a lot to be desired. SQL is structured query language MySQL is a database server that accepts the most common SQL syntax so there is nothing to do just create a data base using the SQL of
QUOTE
CREATE DATABASE  databasename;
then add a table to the database like CREATE TABLE tablename(all the parameters)
and so on you don't migrate SQL to MySQL you use SQL or PHP to control the behavior of MySQL ormssql or PostgreSQL. Please be more specific with your question and you might get a better response.

How to migrate my database from SQL Server to MySQL?
*



Depending on the size of your database structure it will be a fairly easy migration since both SQL Server and MySQL are nearly pure SQL database engines. If you follow the link below you will go to a very good tutorial on migrating to MySQL from SQL Server. This is from the MySQL.com website, and is the perfect place for you to learn MySQL once you do the migration.

http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articl...-microsoft.html

After reading this tutorial you should have no problem. If you still are not sure what to do then you should probably hire someone to do the job for you. Good luck with your migration.

    Hello: I am new to JAVA and server-side applications and have a dumb question. I have set up

    not sure exactly what needs to be packaged with my Java application to make it work. Since I
    don't have a remote server that supports .jsp I cannot really test it. I'm assuming that

  7. Mysql And User File_priv
    (0)
    HI, I've hit the grain while trying to import file to mysql database - I need to enable file
    permissions of the database user but this seems not possible with most of the hosting providers.
    The problem is to set file_priv of the database user to "Y" . This is done in the "user" table of
    the maintanance database named "mysql". cPanel doesn't allow this. Via the cPanel you can only
    allow privileges on table querries but you cannot grant host file privileges to the database user -
    which makes querries like: "LOAD DATA INFILE 'filename' INTO TABLE tablen....

  12. Free Graphical Tools For Databases
    (7)
    There are a lot of different free software in Internet, but I have found only couple of free

    usage. That's way it will be nice to have any good free GUI for this database. I remember the
    time, when one of MySQL-Front versions was for free, but now it is opened only for testing period.
    There is also free version of Toad, which is not full Toad, but it looks also very well - However, I

    Using subqueries in MySQL. Very helpful. (1)
    This method is very useful. I always use this when simple queries of linking two tables is not

    (SELECT * FROM table2 WHERE field1='id') AS subtable or joining multiple queries SELECT *
    FROM (SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE userid='001') AS subtable1 LEFT JOIN (SELECT * FROM table2
    WHERE field1='id') AS subtable2 You can join more than two queries depending on the output
    you want. If someone already posted this topic here I'm sorry I don't know.....
