| Is there a tool to migrate a MySQL database structure to MS SQL Server?I looked at SSIS and it appears to migrate data, but not the structure.I don't really need to migrate the data, just the structure. I don't want to have to recreate the database by hand.Greg |

| If you can generate the SQL script for the tables (using DESCRIBE or SHOW COLUMNS, etc.) you can modify it to make it suitable for SQL Server (change datatypes, change ` to ", etc.) and then run it in a Management Studio query window. |
