Migrating MariaDB to SQL Server RRS feed

  • Question

  • I have a MariaDB that I want to migrate tables, data, views, triggers and stored procedures to SQL Server.  The Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant only gives the option for MariaDB to go to MariaDB Azure.  Can I use the Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant and use the MySQL option to transfer the MariaDB and the objects to SQL Server??  I think it would work but wanted to check to see if anyone has tried it.  Thanks.

  • Hi TREX_444,

    Sorry that I have no MariaDB on hand and limited documents could be researched about this migration using SSMA.

    You could have a try with the answered method mentioned in Migrating site from MariaDB to MS SQL 2012.

    In addition, I recommend you to use SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) to import the table structure and the data from MariaDB into SQL Server.

    BTW, you also have other choices to achieve the same goal.

    Best regards,

    Melissa

  • Thanks!  Several good suggestions in the articles you linked.  The one that mentions moving MariaDB to MYSQL first then using the SSMA seems like a very good option.  Thanks again!
