Question

https://mariadb.com/blog/getting-microsoft-sql-server-data-mariadb-connect-storage-engine

In the above page, can anyone tell me what this sentence means?

Answer 1

Sure, MariaDB will sell you its consulting services for the conversion services. But the statement also means that the "Connect Storage Engine" feature of MariaDB (not MySQL) provides a tool to facilitate the conversion.

MySQL Workbench is another tool for conversion.

Answer 2

Yes it works with lots of clients to migrate from Oracle or MS SQL Server. You can call MariaDB's support to know more about their clients.

MariaDB Database Migration Team

This is pretty common in databases even MySQL has Percona which helps in migrating etc.
