I can't think of anything you'd want to trust your data to...
I seem to remember a bundled SQL Server migration assistent bundled with the product - have you looked at that tool? (Or maybe it isn't included anymore?)

Cheers,
Shaggy.

There are two ways....
update extract set CustomerCreditCode
= ( select CreditCode from CreditCodes as b where extract.ConsumerNO = b.Consumer_No);

update extract as a
inner join CreditCodes b
on a.ConsumerNO = b.Consumer_No
set a.CustomerCreditCode = b.CreditCode;

Hello drewgrantt1,

Tried your solution but did not work for me. I am wondering how I can incorporate this if I committed mistakes by using your solution. I badly needed this converter so I can finish my project before the end of the month. I am way way behind my scheduled timelines and I only have less than a month to catch up. please let me know if you know any kind of tool that can convert MySQL to SQL.

Run the following on the command line: mysqldump --help and you'll see this option:

  --compatible=name   Change the dump to be compatible with a given mode. By
                      default tables are dumped in a format optimized for
                      MySQL. Legal modes are: ansi, mysql323, mysql40,
                      postgresql, oracle, mssql, db2, maxdb, no_key_options,
                      no_table_options, no_field_options. One can use several
                      modes separated by commas. Note: Requires MySQL server
                      version 4.1.0 or higher. This option is ignored with
                      earlier server versions.

So you should run something like: mysqldump --all-databases --compatible=mssql > databases.sql and get out your data. Or, if your database has a root username/password set:

mysqldump -uroot -p --all-databases --compatible=mssql > databases.sql

Hello Friend, for that topic i have no more knowledge, but I have little bit Idea that I want to Share with all,

From that code we get text output of the Scheme["Defination, That contain Attribute name,primary key " and foreign key],which is compatible with MySql.

use SQL::Translator;
my $t = SQL::Translator->new( parser => '...', producer => 'MySQL', '...' );
$t->translate;

And I also, mention here URL,which we get from search engine, which help you for getting your Result,
"http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Business/Accounting_Tools/MySQL_to_SQL_Server_Conversion_Software.html"
I Think that's help you.

We found SQLTran to be an efficient way to convert our Microsoft SQL Server database to the open-source MySQL database platform. The technical aspects of the conversion were completed quickly and accurately, and the software was well supported.
