Hi Hugh, we have a migration script prototype available at OTRS, that can migrate OTRS systems from one RDBMS to another. Please contact sales@otrs.com if you are interested. Regards, mg Am 06.03.12 15:09, schrieb Hugh Kelley:

Has anybody done an OTRS migration from Microsoft SQL Server to MySQL?

Sketching this out on paper I plan to dump the data from SQL Server using BCP. I believe I can then import it into MySQL using "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE" commands (http://ben90.com/2011/06/import-bcp-output-file-into-mysql-database/)

Is there a specific table sequence I should use? Is there a way to specify the column names in the input files so that I don't need to use this highly-descriptive syntax for every single table? Is there a better tool/way altogether?

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'BCP_FILE' INTO TABLE TABLE_NAME FIELDS TERMINATED BY '@**@' LINES TERMINATED BY '*@@*' (TABLE_FIELD_1, TABLE_FIELD_2, TABLE_FIELD_N)
