Sql-server – How to import table’s data in MySql from Sql Server

MySQLmysql-5.5sql serversql-server-2008-r2ssis

I am trying to export table from SQL Server 2008 R2 TO MySql 5.5. For this I am using SQL Server Import and Export Wizard of Sql Server 2008, but it is giving this error. Error

Here this error may be occurring because table in Sql Server has a column with data type image and table in MySql this column's data type is LONGBLOB.

Please provide your expert answers. If not possible through SQL Server Import and Export Wizard than please suggest any other method for data transfer.

You could try changing the datatype in SQL Server to VARBINARY(MAX) :

Even if this is just to get your data into SQL Server. It may also be worth noting that IMAGE is being removed in future editions of SQL Server.
