Question

I have downloaded a SQL dump of wikimedia

I do not want to install any MySQL server and just want to convert this code so that I can import to SQL Server 2019

Try

SQL Server Migration Assistant

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssma/sql-server-migration-assistant?view=sql-server-ver15&viewFallbackFrom=sql-server-2019

You need an mysql odbc driver for that (of course), because you have to connect both servers.

You can try mysqldump

mysqldump --compatible=mssql

But that doesn't work everytime, and if that sql is to big you can get problems. the rest -u and -p you should know waht you have to add evntually you need also --extended-insert=FALSE

Also phpmyadmin has an option to make an Backup in mssql Format, for that you switch to sql compatibility, but you need a websever plus pho for that.
