I need to replicate just a couple of tables from a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 database to a MySQL 5.7 database (one-way only). I've been struggling to find a simple solution.
I've ultimately decided to try SymmetricDS, but the setup is confusing: Assuming I've got SQL Server running on Computer1, and MySQL on Computer2, and I just need Table1 and Table2, how am I supposed to set this up?
As I understand already, I need to add four additional tables to the Master Node (SQL Server in my case), do I add these tables directly to the database I need to copy? This may prove problematic as this database is managed by a very temperamental third-party application and we really don't want to touch it, should we replicate the specific data we need into a local copy on the SQL Server and then "sym" that entire db over to MySQL?
I got SSIS talking my MySQL instance, if it's possible to set that up with a trigger of some kind to automatically run the procedure that would probably work as an alternative.
However, to add, I'm pretty sure I understand the process of creating the .properties files, what I don't fully follow is the Configuration settings, or more specifically, how to set these up properly so the connection is only one-way (the SQL Server should be essentially read-only).
