You can indeed use the Sqlserver migration assistant. But you might run into problems later on because of collation settings. I prefer to create the datamodel myself in Sqlserver. I then have total control of the type of fields I want to use to optimize the data as good as it can be.
After that, I rebuilt the code in the SQL server that is present in MySQL. Use a linked server connection to MySQL to get the data into Sqlserver.
TSQL and Sqlserver has more features than Mysql to improve performance. You do not want to missout on that one. It is less fun to walk with a horse and carriage on a racetrack.

Question on: Microsoft SQL Server
How can I work on the same query if the connection is lost (timeout) and then I reconnect?When I let the SQL session expire, I try to reconnect again and use the same query file I was working on, but it doesn't let me continue because it's says that I'm not connected to any database. So I have to restart the application, connect again and then the query will work.

When this happens to me in SQL Server Management Studio, I just have to type USE {your database name here} and then select only that statement and execute it. This re-establishes my connection and I can continue to work on my query.

Depends what you are doing. If you ran a stored procedure than it will finish but that also depends how you coded transaction handling in the stored procedure.
If you are just doing a simple select of an insert and the connection is broken. Then Sqlserver will rollback in case of an insert. A simple select will be terminated. If you want to guarantee the fact that you want to be able to work on after a connection loss then you should transfer your SQL into a stored procedure and in that stored procedure you program that the next time the stored procedure is executed ( after a connection loss) that it will continue the job it was doing by looking into a status table where it can pick up were it left.

You can change the timeout for the query:
In the object explorer, right click a server and select properties.
Go to Remote server connections, look for the remote query timeout field; then type or choose a value from 0 to 2,147,483,647 to establish the maximum number secs that SQL Server will wait before timing out

There is no best future in SQL, There are only different futures per platform. If you are using PLSQL or TSQL then you can distinguish futures because of the fact that one database engine will treat the data processing differently than the other and you can influence that in different ways. That is the best future per platform.
