openquery

I'm trying to migrate a table from MySql to MSSQL using openquery but I keep getting the following error message: OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "MYSQL" returned message "Requested conversion is not supported.". Msg 7341, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot get the current row value of column "[MSDASQL].description" from OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "MYSQL". The SQL query I'm trying to run: insert into dbo.tickets (id, description, createdAt) select * from openquery(MYSQL, 'select * from mydb.tickets') With openquery I have already copied a couple tables but this one

I have an Oracle 11g XE database that I would like to transfer into SQL Server Express 2005. At first I thought I'd just generate the tables in Oracle as SQL, manipulate the data formats, and run the query in SQL Server. This worked for small tables, but I have several tables with a few hundred thousands rows and some with millions of rows, so this solution won't work. I then created a TNS file with the following content: OracleTnsName = ( DESCRIPTION= ( ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1521) ) ( CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME=XE) ) ) I followed instructions I found elsewhere on how

I am trying to insert records into MySQL database from a MS SQL Server using the "OPENQUERY" but what I am trying to do is ignore the duplicate keys messages. so when the query run into a duplicate then ignore it and keep going.

See: http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/276758/remote-table-valued-function-calls-are-not

How can I use a parameter inside sql openquery, such as: SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([NameOfLinkedSERVER], 'SELECT * FROM TABLENAME where field1=@someParameter') T1 INNER JOIN MYSQLSERVER.DATABASE.DBO.TABLENAME T2 ON T1.PK = T2.PK From the OPENQUERY documentation it states that: OPENQUERY does not accept variables for its arguments. See this article for a workaround. UPDATE: As suggested, I'm including the recommendations from the article below. Pass Basic Values When the basic Transact-SQL statement is known, but you have to pass in one or more specific values, use code that is similar to the
