First you make a linked server in sql to the youraccount.db.6423468.hostedresource.com with your username and password. look at the connection strings for guidance. if it links successfully.....then you can use the import/export wizard to connect to a sql server by putting that same xxxxx.db.xxxx.hostedresource.com thing in the destination. you will be able to select all tables, just dont select any aspnet tables or any analytics or asp and analytics views as those are from when u created it and your account might not have perms to overwrite thing or you might be trying to insert dups. its not perfect but it was easier with a lot of tables and rows. cheers I found a way to get it done.

I'm getting a curious error where it thinks a comma between two quotes is a field delimiter. I'm beginning to wonder if the internet isn't just a big network of questions with no answers. Some days it seems to be just exactly that. The companies themselves either disavow support for anything but the most controlled and specified items, or are outsourced to India and can't understand a question that isn't on the standard list. Whew! I tried both single and double quotes to no avail. I wonder how this could have changed in so short a time? Am I missing something? It doesn't seem right.

It looks like I have to manually handle each table of a complex database as CSV files (oh, and there's a 2.5 MB file size limit for CSV files). Then I have to clean up the weird characters. Microsoft, you suck! YOU REALLY SUCK! In the world of mysql, all you do is script out the database -- structure, data, it's all one big .SQL file, and then you import it wherever you want to. Migrating a Microsoft database is more like dealing with refugees fleeing a warzone. Did I mention that Microsoft sucks? Because it does. Never again -- Microsoft server software is only something to be migrated away from! I thought computers were supposed to AUTOMATE tasks!

It really helped allot. Thanks for taking the time to post this. So far godaddy sucks (at least at inital setup) Just came across the same need from a client; found your this post after beating my head against the wall. It really helped allot.
