Python script for converting MySQL dump into MSSQL compatible scripts Based on my project, I know the following points need to be converted 1. ` need to be removed 2. ENGINE=InnoDB etc need to be removed 3. int(size), (size) is not supported, need to be removed. 4. AUTO_INCREMENT need to be changed to IDENTITY(1,1) 5. UNSIGNED need to be removed…

		Python script for converting MySQL dump into MSSQL compatible scripts
		Based on my project, I know the following points need to be converted
		1. 		` need to be removed
		2.		ENGINE=InnoDB etc need to be removed
		3.		int(size), (size) is not supported for int, need to be removed. 
		4. 		AUTO_INCREMENT need to be changed to IDENTITY(1,1)
		5. 		UNSIGNED need to be removed
		6. 		\n in text/varchar need to be changed to CHAR(13)+CHAR(10)
		7. 		SET SQL_MODE need to be removed
		8. 		SET time_zone need to be removed
		9. 		If AUTO_INCREMENT is used, need to SET IDENTITY_INSERT ON before inserting
				records into the table. Then set it to OFF after insersion. 
		10. 		tinyint need to be changed into int
		11. 		Remove 'IF NOT EXISTS'
		12.		There are some keywords in MSSQL like 'index' and 'file'. I'm not going to cover
				them here. You need to watch out.
