title: Synchronizing SQL Server 2005 with MySQL
body: <p>I'm need to copy several tables wholesale from a third-party SQL Server 2000 database to a MySQL 5 database and keep them synchronized--i.e., when some CRUD happens on the SQL Server tables, I'd like it to be reflected in the MySQL versions in a timely manner. Now, I know there are <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/1/http://blogs.techrepublic%2ecom%2ecom/howdoi/?p=112" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ways to do this with 2000</a>, but some time in the near future, the SQL Server database will be upgraded to 2005, which seems to not offer the same loopholes that 2000 does.</p>
  
  <p>So, is there any way to replicate/synchronize data from SQL Server 2005 to MySQL that doesn't involve me comparing tables in the two databases programmatically? If so, will it also work with SQL Server 2000?</p>
