Once you stored conversion settings into profile you can run the program in Quick Launch mode. Just launch Windows Explorer and double-click on the profile description (.m2s) file with left mouse button. This will cause MSSQL-to-MySQL wizard to launch conversion loading the necessary settings from the specified profile. Then you will be taken right to the screen with progress of conversion without entering all conversion settings.
SQL Server to MySQL converter implements synchronization as combination of inserting MS SQL records that are missing in MySQL table and updating existing MySQL records with MS SQL data. For synchronization purpose source and destination tables must have identical structures and have primary key or unique index defined. It can take some time since the program scans entire source and destination tables in order to find all rows that have been changed.
If you need more options to configure the synchronization or want to reduce duration of the process via "incremental" technique, take a look at MSSQL-MySQL Sync, special product to synchronize MS SQL and MySQL databases.
SQL Server to MySQL converter supports about 90% of syntax constructions involved into MS SQL queries. Some of the conversion rules are described into this whitepaper.

SQL Server to MySQL converter can migrate SQL Server database into MySQL format even if there is no connection to MySQL server available. Following this way, the program exports MS SQL data into local MySQL dump file instead of migrating to MySQL server directly. The resulting file contains MySQL statements to create all tables and to fill them with the data. Click here to learn how to import dump file into MySQL database.
When using Virtual Server hosting customers may not have sufficient privileges to create new databases on the target MySQL server. For this case we recommend the following approach:
When you complete these steps, the entire contents of the source MS SQL database will be imported into the specified MySQL database.

It will allow you to convert only 50 records for each database table, it does NOT convert queries/views and foreign keys. Test the quality of the demo and come back to place an order if satisfied with the results.
