Hi all, i want migrate a database from Sql Server 2008 to MySql using a the tool MySql Migration Toolkit but when the tool is establishing the database connection i receive this error :

Connecting to source database and retrieve schemata names.
Initializing JDBC driver ... 
Driver class MS SQL JDBC Driver
Opening connection ... 
Connection jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://localhost:1433/Northwind;user=sa;password=;charset=utf-8;domain=
The list of schema names could not be retrieved (error: 0).
ReverseEngineeringMssql.getSchemata :Login failed for user 'sa'.

in SQL Server i have not user and password to connect to the database(Window Authentication) so in the Connection Parameter of SQL i insert in the Username field = "sa" and leaving blank the field password.

Do you have any idea why i receive this Error and how work out this issue?

Thanks so much for your attention.

Cheers :)

Try to use SQL Examiner Suite 2010: the tool migrates tables/views/users and data and have full-featured 30-days trial, so you can perform migration with trial version :)
