Session Converting MSSQL and Access Databases to MySQL Mike Hillyer Track: Migration Date: Wednesday, April 20 Time: 4:00pm - 4:45pm Location: Magnolia TrackBack MySQL is becoming increasingly popular on the Windows platform as more software developers see the benefit of MySQL's dual licensing and open development model. As more developers become aware of the benefits of moving to MySQL, there is an increasing need for developers who can migrate existing applications to MySQL from other RDBMSes. In this session, Mike Hillyer of the MySQL AB documentation team covers the basics of converting an application based on Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft Access to MySQL. Topics include business considerations, migration planning, data conversion tools, and special considerations when migrating including differences in date formats and SQL syntax. Examples will be given through case studies of recent migration projects involving both Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Access.
