Answer 1

i remember that i used this small tool to convert maybe it may help you, check here. Another tool MySQL-to-MSSQL is more powerful.

Answer 2

Some options:

• Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant 2008 for MySQL v1.0 CTP1

• Guide to Migrating from MySQL to SQL Server 2008

• Migrating from MySQL to SQL Server 2005

Haven't used this, so can't comment on it's effectiveness:

• Migrate MySQL to Microsoft SQL Server

Might be useful (if you don't already have it):

• Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Management Studio Express
