Need to migrate SQL Server to MySQL

I have two suggestions:

1) I hate bringing up commercial products but there is a $49.00 tools to Migrate MSSQL to MySQL

2) Try MySQL's MSSQL Migration forums for further suggestions

There is an old product that went EOL back in January 2010 called the MySQL Migration Toolkit. If you can get a hold of it, you can use it.

Get the WhitePaper (PDF) from Oracle on the Guide to Migrating Microsoft SQL Server to MySQL (Still Commercial)

According to this MySQL WebPage, the section MySQL Workbench: Database Migration Wizard claims that the MySQL Workbench has the capability of Migrating DB Objects from SQL Server to MySQL.


Based on Marian's suggestion, I found this answer about replicating in the other direction by setting up the MySQL server as a linked server in MS SQL Server. With MySQL set up as a linked server, I can run SQL queries on both databases at the same time, which provides exactly the functionality I needed to solve this problem.


MySQL Workbench can do this:

It can be installed directly on the MS SQL Server machine (speed advantage!), which needs to be able to access your Ubuntu MySQL Server.
