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:
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 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.
- 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.
