I have one requirement to transfer or post the data from Sql table xxx to mysql yyyy with different table structures(i.e no of columns may vary,columns names may vary etc). Here for example sql table consists of 4 columns by names 1,2,3,4 and mysql table yyyy consists of 3 columns 5,6,7. here i should map col 1 of sql table xxx to col 5 of mysql table yyy.In the same way we should map col 2 to col 6 and col 4 to col 7. how can i proceed in this regard considering autoincrement,Primary key functionalities? Please reply me asap. Regartds Anjali Hi Haidong Ji,

It worked perfectly with me on SQL Express 2005 Also, i would like to add that one can copy all the bcp commands and paste it notepad. Then he can save that as a .bat file. Then goto CMD and execute the batch file. Magic !!! ;) Hi Haidong Ji,

How many times have I clicked that save button without ever noticing the dropdown that gives you the option to save with encoding? I chose to save as ANSI and loaded it right into MySQL with no problems. Thank you, Wiley Haidong – You are the best!

I chose to save as ANSI and loaded it right into MySQL with no problems.

Thank you,

A quick thought is that if you have direct access to BCP, it is possible to define the collation in a BCP format file so the data is piped out in the right encoding format. Not sure if that helps you, but I will submit a sample BCP format file tomorrow when I have access to it. Looking at settings that Access take to output a file can also give you a clue. In Query Analyzer (Sql Server 2000 edition), when I save results to a file, assuming that's how you get your data, I see three options: ANSI, Unicode, and OEM. Have you tried any one of them? I may do some digging myself and let you know. In the meantime, if you figure it out, I'd be curious to hear about it. Hi Wiley,

I wonder if you have any ideas for another situation. I'm trying to move data from a MS SQL Server database to MySQL where the MS SQL connection is through Citrix. I only have access to query analyzer. I'm able to export the data successfully but when I try to load it into MySQL I encounter errors caused by the character encoding in the downloaded file (UTF-16LE). If read the file into MS Access and back out I can load it into MySQL. Tnanks again, Wiley Hi Haidong Ji – Thank you for posting this code.
