Answer 1

As this is for migration, I would suggest that you simply wrap your tables in views which does the conversion as you export the data. I have used the below concept moving data from MySQL to postgress which has the same problem.

Each table should be proxied by something like this;

CREATE VIEW migration_mytable AS 
SELECT field1, field2, 
    CASE field3
         WHEN '0000-00-00 00:00:00' 
         THEN '1900-01-01 00:00:00' 
         ELSE field3
    END CASE AS field3
FROM mytable;

You should be able to write a script which generate this for you from the catalog, in case you have a great deal of tables to take care of.

You should then be able to import the data into your SqlServer table (using a bridge like this), and simply running a query like;

INSERT INTO sqlserver.mytable SELECT * FROM mysql.migration_mytable;
