How to migrate from Oracle RDB for OpenVMS to MySQL in Windows?

I have a legacy Alpha server with a RDB database. This db is replicated in a MySQL db with many bad php scripts that drops all the tables and takes everything from the Alpha.

This works very slow and is becoming unmaintainable. Is there a better way to fix this than programming again the scripts? Anything like MySQL Migration Toolkit?

A: 

MySQL has been ported to OpenVMS/Alpha. If you could migrate your applications to use MySQL on the Alpha, then you could use MySQL's built-in replication.

This wiki page has installation instructions and download links.

This may be a good idea but I have no experience with OpenVMS and no support from the people who has mantained this for twenty years.

@polyphony: I started in excactly the same situation with regards to MySQL on OpenVMS, no internal support, etc. All I can say is good luck. I added a link that will come in handy if you decide to go this route.
