I need to import records stored in a MySQL Database that I do not maintain into my Sql Server 2005 database (x64)
We should import the records at an interval basis (probably 1 hour).
What would be the best solution to perform the regular import?
- Windows Service (using reference MySql.data dll)
 - Windows Client (could make it automated)
 - SQL Extended Stored Procedure (is it possible to reference the MySQL.data dll?)
 - SSIS package - Install MySQL ODBC driver
 
The problem with #4 is that I do not really want to support the ODBC driver on the sql server.
I'm not sure if you can even reference the x86 MySql.data dll into a x64 sql server process for #3. (Or if you can even reference that dll within a sql server project)
