ODBC and Migration
What is and what is not imported by the SQLyog Migration Tool?
The SQLyog Migration Tool as of SQLyog 4.1 and later will import
DATA
and it will - of course - create the type definitions for the table columns in the process. Note that the ODBC-driver will 'propose' a transformation of the datatype when importing a datatype from the ODBC-database if the corresponding MySQL datatype is not completely identical. For instance a MS SQL Server varchar-type is too long to fit into a MySQL 4.x varchar. It must be transformed to a MySQL text or blob type. However the SQLyog Migration Tool gives you the option to 'override' the 'proposal' of the ODBC-driver. So for instance: if the driver says blob you can choose mediumtext instead if you like.
METADATA that is
- (ordinary) indexes, including – of course – unique indexes
- primary keys
- foreign keys
It does not attempt to import
OBJECTS such as
- Stored Procedures and Functions
- Triggers
- Views
Also note that the ODBC-import Tool as of SQLyog version 4.0 and before only imports DATA themselves.
