What is a SQL Server to MySQL Converter?
It transforms SQL Server T-SQL text—schemas, queries, procedures, and dump snippets—into MySQL-compatible SQL without connecting to a database or migrating live data automatically.
Convert SQL Server T-SQL scripts into MySQL-compatible SQL with local processing, inline diff, batch ZIP export, and migration warnings.
Local only • SQL text conversion • No database connection • Ctrl+Z undo • Batch ZIP export • Review warnings before production use
It transforms SQL Server T-SQL text—schemas, queries, procedures, and dump snippets—into MySQL-compatible SQL without connecting to a database or migrating live data automatically.
It converts SQL text. INSERT statements in a script are rewritten syntactically, but bulk data migration from a live SQL Server database requires ETL tools or native export/import pipelines.
No. The tool never runs SQL against any database. Review and execute converted scripts in your own MySQL environment.
No. All conversion happens locally in your browser.
No. Your SQL stays on your device. No telemetry or cloud processing is used for conversion.
Common SQL Server 2012–2022 DDL/DML syntax including bracket identifiers, IDENTITY, NVARCHAR, DATETIME2, MONEY, and GO batches. Exotic legacy syntax may need manual review.
Output targets MySQL 5.7+ and 8.x with InnoDB and utf8mb4 defaults. Spatial and JSON features may require MySQL 8.
By default IDENTITY(1,1) is removed and AUTO_INCREMENT is appended to the column definition.
NVARCHAR maps to VARCHAR with utf8mb4 charset when enabled. NVARCHAR(MAX) maps to LONGTEXT.
Mapped to CHAR(36) for UUID-style storage. Consider BINARY(16) for performance if you control application encoding.
MONEY and SMALLMONEY map to DECIMAL(19,4) and DECIMAL(10,4) respectively.
SQL Server ROWVERSION/TIMESTAMP types map to BINARY(8). This is not the same as MySQL TIMESTAMP.
No. Procedures receive best-effort conversion with DELIMITER blocks and parameter rewrites. Complex T-SQL control flow requires manual migration.
Triggers are converted best-effort with INSERTED/DELETED mapped to NEW/OLD. Verify FOR EACH ROW semantics before production.
Yes for reasonably sized .sql files pasted or uploaded in the browser. Very large multi-gigabyte dumps are impractical client-side.
Yes. GO batch separators are used as statement boundaries during conversion, similar to SSMS batch execution.
By default dbo. is stripped because MySQL uses database names differently. Enable preserve schema names if you need qualified identifiers.
CREATE VIEW statements are converted with generic syntax and function mapping. SCHEMABINDING is removed. Complex views may need manual edits.
Regular and UNIQUE indexes are converted. INCLUDE columns are removed with a warning because MySQL does not support included columns the same way.
SELECT TOP n is rewritten to SELECT ... LIMIT n when possible.
OFFSET ... ROWS FETCH NEXT ... ROWS ONLY is rewritten to LIMIT offset, count style syntax.
Mapped to IFNULL(), the idiomatic MySQL equivalent.
Mapped to NOW() for datetime defaults and expressions.
Yes when Pretty-print output is enabled, using MySQL-aware formatting.
Yes. The Validation tab runs MySQL syntax checks. Use the SQL Validator handoff for deeper analysis.
Yes. Use the Compare tab for inline diff or the SQL Compare handoff for side-by-side analysis.
Yes. Batch upload exports a ZIP with converted .sql files plus JSON/TXT reports and a manifest.
Small and medium scripts convert instantly. Inputs above ~300 KB use a Web Worker. Practical in-browser limits depend on device memory.
Yes after the page loads because processing is client-side.
Modern Chromium, Firefox, Safari, and Edge with Web Worker and localStorage support.
Yes. No account or per-conversion charge.
No. Always review warnings, test on staging, validate constraints/indexes, and verify application queries before production migration.
Yes. Use the MySQL to PostgreSQL Converter for the next step after migrating to MySQL, or hand off converted output directly from this tool.
