Export Data from SQL Server to MariaDB through SSIS

SQL Server databases are commonly used to store enterprise records. It is often necessary to move this data to other locations. The CData SSIS Task for MariaDB allows you to easily transfer MariaDB data. In this article you will export data from SQL Server to MariaDB.

Add Source and Destination Components

To get started, add a new ADO.NET Source control and a new MariaDB Destination control to the data flow task.

Configure the ADO.NET Source

Follow the steps below to specify properties required to connect to the SQL Server instance.

1. Open the ADO.NET Source and add a new connection. Enter your server and database information here.
2. In the Data access mode menu, select "Table or view" and select the table or view to export into MariaDB.
3. Close the ADO NET Source wizard and connect it to the destination component.

Create a New Connection Manager for MariaDB

Follow the steps below to set required connection properties in the Connection Manager.

1. Create a new connection manager: In the Connection Manager window, right-click and then click New Connection. The Add SSIS Connection Manager dialog is displayed.
2. Select CData MariaDB Connection Manager in the menu.
3. Configure the connection properties. A typical connection requires:
   • User
   • Password
   • Database
   • Server
   • Port

   The Server and Port properties must be set to a MariaDB server. If IntegratedSecurity is set to false, then User and Password must be set to valid user credentials. Optionally, Database can be set to connect to a specific database. If not set, the tables from all databases are reported.

   

Configure the MariaDB Destination

In the destination component Connection Manager, define mappings from the SQL Server source table into the MariaDB destination table.

1. Double-click the MariaDB destination to open the destination component editor.
2. In the Connection Managers tab, select the connection manager previously created.
