he MySQL Migration Suite facilitates the movement of data from a proprietary database application. This MySQL product suite consists of three tools:
MySQL Migration Toolkit, a package capable of reverse engineering Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle data to a MySQL server
MySQL Query Browser, a browser-like tool for handling multiple SQL queries and tables
The MySQL Migration Toolkit uses an eight-step process to ease the transition of data from a proprietary database (such as Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, or Oracle) to the MySQL open source database. The MySQL Query Browser adds color-coded editing and auto code-generating capabilities, which makes managing your databases, tables, and history much easier. Grouped with the MySQL Administrator, the suite also reduces the complexity of the DBA's chores, such as backup, viewing server logs, and optimizing server performance.
