You can use the SQL Gateway to configure a TDS (SQL Server) remoting service and set up a linked server for MySQL data. After you have started the service, you can use the UI in SQL Server Management Studio or call stored procedures to create the linked server. You can then work with MySQL data just as you would a linked SQL Server instance. Show
Connect to MySQL as an ODBC Data SourceIf you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs. The Server and Port properties must be set to a MySQL server. If IntegratedSecurity is set to false, then User and Password must be set to valid user credentials. Optionally, Database can be set to connect to a specific database. If not set, tables from all databases will be returned. Configure the TDS Remoting ServiceSee the SQL Gateway Overview for a in the SQL Gateway UI. The TDS remoting service is a daemon process that listens for TDS requests from clients. Create a Linked Server for MySQL DataAfter you have configured and started the daemon, create the linked server and connect. You can use the UI in SQL Server Management Studio or call stored procedures. Create a Linked Server from the UIFollow the steps below to create a linked server from the Object Explorer.
Create a Linked Server ProgrammaticallyIn addition to using the SQL Server Management Studio UI to create a linked server, you can use stored procedures. The following inputs are required:
Connect from SQL Server Management StudioSQL Server Management Studio uses the SQL Server Client OLE DB provider, which requires the ODBC driver to be used inprocess. You must enable the "Allow inprocess" option for the SQL Server Native Client Provider in Management Studio to query the linked server from SQL Server Management Studio. To do this, open the properties for the provider you are using under Server Objects -> Linked Servers -> Providers. Check the "Allow inprocess" option and save the changes. Execute QueriesYou can now execute queries to the MySQL linked server from any tool that can connect to SQL Server. Set the table name accordingly: Is MySQL compatible with SQL Server?SQL Server supports multiple programming languages such as PHP, Go, Python, C++, Java, VB, Delphi, Ruby, and R. MySQL supports nearly all programming languages supported by SQL Server.
Is SQL Server Management Studio same as MySQL?Both MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) are widely used enterprise database systems. MySQL is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS), while MSSQL Server is a Microsoft-developed RDBMS. Enterprises can choose between multiple MSSQL Server editions to suit their individual needs and budgets.
