I've passed the database schema from MySQL to Sybase ASE using PowerDesigner.

Is there a tool to help migrating the data itself?

Answer 1

Sybase has an old whitepaper in which they recommend using EMS Data Export to extract the data from MySQL, and the Sybase bcp utility for imports.

Here are the other recommended tools

The recommended tools for the migration are:

• PowerTransfer Tool to stream the data from MySQL to ASE

• InfoMaker™ with its Data Pipeline feature to move the data from MySQL directly into ASE

• MS DTS to move the data from MySQL directly into ASE

• BCP for moving the data.

• CIS (Sybase Component Integration Services) and Enterprise Connect Data Access (ECDA) to extract data from MySQL and insert directly into ASE

AFAIK PowerTransfer was an old tool included with PowerDesigner, but is no longer available.

The whitepaper is a bit dated, but it can be found here.

A second option would be migrating the data to SQLAnywhere first, then using ASE Component Integration Services to move the data into your ASE instance. The MySQL to SQLAnywhere instructions can be found here.
