Hi Philip,
Thank you for your help.
It is well known observation that the level of documentation incompleteness is
inversely proportional to the number of people who used it :-)
It looks like more people started to use now, so they noticed some
deficiencies.
First, I would like to say that the new information is very helpful, especially
those snapshots for "ODBC Driver Add/Setup", but also "Generic ODBC driver
Setup" as well.
One thing I did not understand how I can get into "Generic ODBC driver
Setup" window? What is the sequence of clicks that leads me into that
window? I tried to get it by myself and could not find the way.
However, my most important remark is about "Important: using FreeTDS with
iODBC" line on the web page:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-migration-database-mssql-drivers-linux.html
It seems to me that this small section is incorrect.
If you look inside the build_freetds.sh file, it already contains that option
at the line 79:
79 ./configure --disable-apps --disable-server --disable-pool --with-iodbc=/tmp/freetdsbuild --enable-odbc-wide
Second, there is no explanation how to install the packages
libiodbc-devel or libiodbc2-dev
I spent quite a bit of time trying to accomplish it until MySQL people told me
the command that worked very well for my CentOS 6.6:
yum install libiodbc libiodbc-devel
After I ran it the drivers were installed:
/usr/local/lib/libtdsodbc.a
/usr/local/lib/libtdsodbc.la
/usr/local/lib/libtdsodbc.so
/usr/local/lib/libtdsodbc.so.0
/usr/local/lib/libtdsodbc.so.0.0.0
Also I was able to do data migration, but I ran WB on Windows, not on Linux.
Nevertheless I am planning to do that from Linux side once I master
Windows version.
Thanks again for your help and for the good tool.
Best regards,
Jacob Nikom
