Question

I need to export about 300,000 rows from a table on MS SQL server and import into mysql on a different server (non windows).
There is some text stored in some fields and commas in the text will mess up the format if I export into txt format.

I can’t install any software on the server.

You may have several options:

• use SSIS or DTS Wizard on another host to interconnect MSSQL and MySQL
• write your own small app to move the data
• script the MSSQL DB’s DATA into script file with SSMS’ scripting features, adopt the script manually to mysql and run it
