Hey everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone knew of a decent free host that supports ASP.NET and MySQL.  I've found plenty that free hosting that support  ASP.NET, and free hosts that support MySQL, but as of yet, not a single free host that ofers MySQL AND ASP.NET.

I'm trying to post an application on the web for my client to test.  I'm a poor Peace Corps volunteer and they are a pretty poor Non-Governmental Organization, so for right now, free is the way to go!

They will probably eventually pay for a service, but politics and bureaucracy spells out months until that actually happens!  Oddly enough, even though their whole project revolves around me creating this software for them (free of charge), I am far away from the decision making processes, since it involves NGOs and governmental institutions mostly here in El Salvador and Mexico, but also Guatemala/Honduras/Nicaragua, and it'd probably be impossible to have them purchase a server early for testing purposes.

Hi,

I have personally migrated MySql databases to MSSQl a few times. No huge datasets though, in terms of number of tables.

At the time of the last migration I did, I did it manually. Created some smart MySql queries to build TSQL commands to create the database schema on the MSSQL side, and then I wrote one-time WinForms app to transfer the data.

Since that time, I discoverd a company writing various SQL software utilities at reasonable prices. One of their utilities, DTM Migration Kit, might be exactly what you are looking for. I have never tried that utility from them, but I have been using some of the others.

You can access the DTM Migration Kit page at http://www.sqledit.com/mk/index.html

Hope this helps,

Palli

Thank you very much Palli!  Right now I'm considering paying for a server for a month or more, but your information gives me more options.  I appreciate your help, again!
