Exporting from SQLite to SQL Server

Question

Is there a tool to migrate an SQLite database to SQL Server (both the structure and data)?

Answer 1

I know that this is old thread, but I think that this solution should be also here.

• Install ODBC driver for SQLite
• Run odbcad32 for x64 or C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe for x86
• Create SYSTEM DSN, where you select SQLite3 ODBC Driver
• Then you fill up form where Database Name is filepath to sqlite database

Then in SQL Server run under sysadmin

USE [master]
GO
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 
   @server     = 'OldSQLite', -- connection name
   @srvproduct = '',          -- Can be blank but not NULL
   @provider   = 'MSDASQL', 
   @datasrc    = 'SQLiteDNSName' -- name of the system DSN connection 
GO

Then you can run your queries as normal user e.g.

SELECT * INTO SQLServerDATA FROM openquery(SQLiteDNSName, 'select * from SQLiteData')

or you can use something like this for larger tables.
