How to Migrate from Microsoft SQL Server to Google BigQuery

Skippr is the easiest way to migrate from MSSQL to BigQuery and get fully cleansed and modeled data in one run command.

Source: MSSQL. Destination: BigQuery.

Sample config

yaml
skippr:
  workspace: mssql_to_bigquery
pipelines:
  mssql_to_bigquery:
    data_source: data_sources.source
    data_sink: data_sinks.warehouse
data_sources:
  source:
    Mssql:
      connection_string: "${MSSQL_CONNECTION_STRING}"
data_sinks:
  warehouse:
    Bigquery:
      project: my-gcp-project
      dataset: raw_data
      location: US

Environment

bash
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/service-account.json"
export MSSQL_CONNECTION_STRING="server=tcp:127.0.0.1,1433;database=testdb;user id=sa;password=YourPass;TrustServerCertificate=true"

Source connector: mssql. Destination connector: bigquery.
