Question

i have a simple mysql database. it has 3 tables.

here is the create statement for them:

CREATE DATABASE `qcvalues` /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 */

CREATE TABLE `batchinfo` (
  `rowid` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `datapath` mediumtext,
  `analysistime` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `reporttime` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `lastcalib` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `analystname` varchar(150) DEFAULT NULL,
  `reportname` varchar(150) DEFAULT NULL,
  `batchstate` varchar(150) DEFAULT NULL,
  `instrument` varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`rowid`),
  UNIQUE KEY `rowid_UNIQUE` (`rowid`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=15771 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1


CREATE TABLE `calibration` (
  `rid` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `filename` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
  `qcname` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `compound` varchar(150) DEFAULT NULL,
  `response` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `isid` varchar(150) DEFAULT NULL,
  `isidresp` varchar(150) DEFAULT NULL,
  `finalconc` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `rowid` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`rid`),
  UNIQUE KEY `rid_UNIQUE` (`rid`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=708947 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1



CREATE TABLE  `qcvalues`.`qvalues` (
  `rid` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `compound` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `rt` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `response` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `finalConc` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `qvalue` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `rowid` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`rid`),
  UNIQUE KEY `rid_UNIQUE` (`rid`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=463066 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

i am writing to this database from excel:

Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
    cn.Open "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver};" & _
        "SERVER=kame1;" & _
        "DATABASE=qcvalues;" & _
        "USER=root;" & _
        "PASSWORD=password;" & _
        "Option=3"
    'lets get the batch info
    '
    ' open a recordset
    Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset

what would be the easiest way to migrate the entire mysql DB to sql server?

Microsoft just recently announced a migration tool for supporting migrations from MySql to SQL Server:

Microsoft announces SQL Server Migration Assistant for MySQL

I haven’t had a look at it, but it might be worth checking out; here is the download page of the tool (with a typical MS-style product name ;-):
