MySQL on Windows: Reducing Costs with the new Migration Wizard

While MySQL is famously known as the "M" of the popular LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl/Python), Microsoft Windows consistently ranks as the #1 development platform for MySQL. In the past 2 years, MySQL has invested heavily in improving performance and scalability on Windows, as well as offering user-friendly tools and easier integration with existing Windows-based infrastructure. As a result, developers and DBAs can develop, deploy and manage MySQL confidently in the Windows environment, while lowering database TCO by up to 90% compared to Microsoft SQL Server.

If you're considering moving to MySQL but unsure what to do, here comes the help! MySQL Workbench, the MySQL visual tool, now includes the new Migration Wizard to assist you in your migration process. This presentation introduces this tool and walks through a full migration process. Learn what parts of the migration process you can automate, and get a sense of the common problems that appear along the way and how to sort them out. Also learn to extend and customize the tool with Python. As a bonus, the session addresses specific issues regarding the migration of Microsoft SQL Server databases into MySQL. Don't miss the opportunity to learn this new tool and reduce your IT costs, directly from the engineer who is behind the code!
