Hi -
You didn't mention which version of Sybase you are migrating from. I
just migrated our db from Sybase SQLAnywhere to MySQL v4.1 and there
were a couple things I found that didn't I had to change:

1) SQLAnywhere allows some words as column names that MySQL doesn't: I
had some a couple tables with a column called 'interval'- I had to
change it to d_interval to get my table to create in MySQL (got syntax
errors)

2) Same thing for 'order'... I had to change my 'order' columns to
'd_order'

3) For Autoincrement columns, the syntax is a little different:
        SQLAnywhere:
                CREATE TABLE my_test (
                        note_id integer NOT NULL DEFAULT autoincrement);
        MySQL:
                CREATE TABLE my_test (
                        note_id integer NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT);

Everything else came over ok in my case.
Good luck!
-Holly

if you can export the same from sybase, then undoubtedly you can import
those iinto mysql
