I have a forum (ver9.68) which is using MS-SQL2005 right now. I want to migrate it to MySQL. Anyone knows how to do it? I am not an expert in database, please show me the detail steps if possible.

Thanks in advance!

mySQL is very different to SQL Server. The mySQL version of Web Wiz Forums uses a different database schema than the SQL Server version which means that migration from SQL Server to mySQL is not possible.

SQL Server is the preferred database for Web Wiz Forums and can handle allot more data than mySQL. I would recommend keeping the SQL Server database.
