I need either a Windows or Linux program or even a DTS package that can be ran as a scheduled task or through a cron job. I need to be able to dump parts of my MS SQL server database to a MySQL database on my webserver. The problem is that the source (MS SQL) contains some text fields with over 8000 characters and DTS generates quotquery based insertion of blob values is not supportedquot errors. Preferably I would be able to select the source tables (MS SQL) and the destination tables (MySQL) and set the time(s) the data transfer would occur. Before each table is transfered, it would first truncate the destination table before any rows are inserted.
Bid Smart - The lowest bidder doesn't always get chosen, far from it. Persuade your buyer why they should pick you - and they will.
Research - If John has paid more than $500 a contract for his last 10 project, why would you think he is interested in your $10 bid? Check up on the buyer, bid what he expects, and deliver quality to match.
Read - Please read the bid request - I cannot emphasise this enough - if you do not read the bid request then you will not be chosen, this is pretty much certain. Mention the bid request specifically in your application, and don't forget to repeat the key deliverables.
Innovate - Suggest features the bidder didn't mention, talk about future extensions to the project, and discuss whether you think his or her approach is a good idea. Show interest, intellect, and willing.
