Is there an easy way to convert Transact-SQL to MySQL?

The short answer: NO
The medium answer: MAYBE
The long answer: That depends on what’s in your TSQL and how much time and effort you want to put into it.
TSQL is not a subset of MySQL’s dialect. So there exists some TSQL for which there is no MySQL conversion. However, the overlap between the two languages is pretty significant, and to a certain degree the conversion is just a matter of syntax.
This isn’t a new problem, and some people have tried to tackle it. A quick google search for “tsql to mysql” yields some promising results, notably this project here, which attempts to convert stored procedures from TSQL to MySQL:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tsql2mysql/
This probably won’t solve your problem completely, but it’s at least a start.
