I'm "new" to mssql server administration, similar to the circumstance described here: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=139861"with mysql i can dump a database with mysqldump in a text file .SQL and i can import a this dump file directly from mysql ..."All I need from mssql is to import an existing sql file, dumped from another mssql server, so I can export it into a format importable in mysql, with which I'm amply familiar.Trying to import to mssql, I've fallen down the rabbit hole. It starts here - a process I've tried repeatedly based on other instructions, which I find repeated in the thread linked above:"Install SQL server management studio 2005/08Once configured, connect by providing authetication windows or sql"When I attempt to install SQL server management studio, I get error message "To continue one or more feature must be selected"I've tried to select either Instance features, Shared features or Redistributable features, but only Shared shows a checkbox, which is checked but the checkbox is grayed out. To be honest, I don't even know if I have SQL Server 2008 running. I'm running a Win7 Asus machine, and SQL server is part of the stock package. I installed WAMP, and don't know if that maybe disabled SQL Server 2008. Really, all I need to do is reformat this msSQL dump into language compatabile with MySQL. I have a lot of data analysis to do, and would rather not spend another day in the rabbit hole of exploring a server I don't even need. However, getting the agency to reformat their SQL dump is also out of the question. Suggestions? |
