MS-SQL-BAK file to MySQL

[Marc Vanzegbroeck]

Hi,

Is there a way to read data from a MSSQL-BAK file into MySQL.
I found some tools to doa conversion, but I need to do it from my program.
I have program that read some data from a database, a make some documentation from it.
Until now, tha system can export the data to a text-file, and I read it into my program, a arrange everything into my database.
Now there is a newer systemthat have already a MSSQL-database that can export to a BAK-file.
It would be nice, that I can read it directly.
Connecting to tha MSSQL-database is no option, because the servers running that database is connected to a Process-Controll-system that is controlling a petrochemical plant, and connecting to the database is not allowed, for security-reasons.
Only creating BAK-file is allowed.
There is also a possibitity to export to XML-files, but it would be a lot easyer to directly read tha BAK-file.
