Migrating from mySQL to SQL Server

Hello all,

We plan to migrate a mySQL database with around 110 tables to SQL Server. I understand that I can get a dump of the mySQL DB using mysqldump. What tweaking is necessary with the dump file before I use it in the SQL Query Analyzer?

Is there any 3rd party tool out there that takes care of the differences in datatypes etc?

TIA

You might be able to use the data transformation tools in SQLServer - which save heaps of messing about in mySQL.
Create the DB in SQLServer, then run the Import Data wizard. It's extremely straight forward from there.
