Browsermob / Neustar produces a MySQLdump file that you can use to query load test data without incurring cloud hours (which are naturally billable). The dump file is a standard dump file, and although I understand that mysqldump has a compatible=mssql option, I am obviously not in a position to run that myself. Looking at the contents of the file (which is extremely large) using a text editor seems to show a series of SQL statements ending in a massive bulk insert. I tried to open the file in Microsoft SQL Management Studio but it crashed (known bug) because the file was too large.
So, does anyone know of a tool that will import the MySQL dump file into MsSQL. The only options I can think of are to install MySQL and import the dump file into that instead and then transfer the data over ODBC, but I really don't want to install MySQL unless I have to.
IMPORTANT: So, just to be clear, I have a dump file, nothing else and I can't access the database, nor re-run the dump with any options. I have to work with the file I have been given.
Any ideas?
First lines of the file look like this:
-- MySQL dump 10.13 Distrib 5.1.58, for debian-linux-gnu (i686)
--
-- Host: localhost Database: collector

Then comes the bulk insert.
