1: Our current program is on visual basic and sql server. But due to lode on data
base we want to migrate in php and mysql.
Our important work is migrate data on mysql to sqlserver.
2: In old database lot of table exist but in new database only few tables.
3: There are many unused table in old data base.
4: First we normalized old data base and then migrate in to new data base.
