Syncing SQL Server Tables to MySQL with Kettle Open‑Source ETL

Kettle, a pure‑Java open‑source ETL tool (Chinese name "Shuihu"), enables efficient, installation‑free data extraction and synchronization, allowing you to copy tables or views from a SQL Server database directly into a MySQL table using a straightforward workflow.

Syncing SQL Server Tables to MySQL with Kettle Open‑Source ETL

Kettle (Chinese name "Shuihu") is an open‑source ETL platform written entirely in Java. It runs without installation, offers a green (portable) deployment, and provides high‑efficiency, stable data extraction for migration tasks.

The typical business requirement addressed here is to synchronize a specific table or view from System A’s SQL Server database to a corresponding table in System B’s MySQL database.

The overall process can be summarized as follows:

In practice, you create a Kettle transformation that extracts data from the SQL Server source, optionally applies any required transformations, and then loads the result into the MySQL target. A Kettle job orchestrates the execution of this transformation, handling scheduling, error handling, and logging.

For a step‑by‑step implementation, see the detailed blog post linked below.
