Transferring data between databases on different platforms (Windows to Linux) can be achieved using various methods. Here are a few options you can consider:

  1. Database Export/Import Tools:

    • For SQL Server: You can use SQL Server's built-in export and import tools like SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to generate a script of your data, then run it on the target Linux database.
    • For MySQL: You can use the mysqldump utility to create a backup of the data from the Windows database and then restore it on the Linux database using the mysql command-line tool.

  2. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) Tools:

    • Tools like Apache NiFi, Apache Nifi, Talend, and Apache Airflow can help you move data between different databases and platforms.

  3. Data Migration Tools:

    • Tools like Flyway and Liquibase are designed to help with database migrations and can handle transferring data between different platforms.

  4. Custom Scripts:

    • You can write custom scripts to export data from the source database and import it into the target database. For example, you can use Python with libraries like SQLAlchemy and Pandas to extract data from one database and insert it into another.

  5. Cross-Platform Database Tools:

    • Some database systems are cross-platform and can be installed on both Windows and Linux. If your database systems support this, you might be able to backup and restore data between them.

  6. Export to CSV or JSON:

    • Export the data from the Windows database to CSV or JSON format and then use tools or scripts to import the data into the Linux database.

Remember to ensure compatibility between the data types and database schemas of the source and target databases. Also, consider the size of the data, data integrity, and any potential constraints during the migration process. It's recommended to test the migration process on a smaller subset of the data before performing the full transfer.
