Thread:Project:Support desk/How to migrate from SharePoint SQL to MW MySQL?

We're trying to migrate from a MS SharePoint SQL-based wiki to MW on Linux. This is not a public-facing wiki, so I can't provide a URL:

MediaWiki => 1.16.5 PHP => 5.1.6 MySQL => 5.0.77 OS => RHEL 5.5

Has anyone accomplished this, and if so, can you provide me with some direction? There's a limited amount of information regarding this type of migration.

It seems that our options are: 1. Export SQL content to text file and use the importTextFile.php maintenance script for importing the text content. However, we have embedded binary image data on many of the existing wiki pages, so I doubt this will work cleanly.

2. Export SQL content to an html format and use one of the many opensource converters to convert the html to MW markup. However, my Windows Engineer is using the SQL Server Import/Export Wizard, and there aren't options for exporting the existing database to html.

3. Use the MySQL migration toolkit for the migration. Walking through the overview of this product, it seems that it would work, but my MySQL skills are limited at best. It appears that MySQL WorkBench doesn't have the migration capability yet even though the capability is supposed to be deprecated in the toolkit and eventually rolled in to the WorkBench.

Any direction that you can provide would be highly appreciated.
