I am starting a new thread for a question that has already been started because the earlier thread is marked as "answered," but it was not in fact answered. There were several people in the earlier thread who said thay had this problem. Here is the earlier thread: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/ffa8c8af-f747-4c32-9bf1-9ebdd78a4742/ssma-for-mysql-v52-does-not-show-all-my-mysql-tables?forum=sqlservermigration

I don't see all my MySQL tables inside SSMA 5.2 after connecting to the MySQL server and database. Some tables are shown but many are not.
All tables are Innodb in mysql and in the same database. I can see the tables using many tools, such as MySQL Workbench. I also have a linked server in SQL Server 2012 that links to the same MySQL server and database and sees all the tables -but
SSMA 5.2 does not. The LinkedServer uses the same ODBC connection, and the same credentials (username / password).
I have SSMA for MySQL Extension Pack installed, and I am using “Server Side Data Migration Engine” to migrate the tables. I have done a "check table" from within MySQL on one of the missing tables, and there is no corruption.
I tried to use the LinkedServer to connect from within SSMA, but it appears that SSMA does not allow me to use them????
I have an ODBC connection with both the 32 big and the 64 bit driver. I'm running this from 64 bit Windows Server 2012.
