Hi, I need to know if there's a possibility to add users to moodle site(using mysql) from another website(corresponding to my university using sql server not mysql). 

If anyone could guide me or give me an example of a script of any sort to do this, i would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

a very simple possibility could be exporting users from university database then importing user int Moodle via CSV upload: http://docs.moodle.org/26/en/Upload_users.

In case your Moodle is able to connect to the university database server, a better option could be external database authentication: http://docs.moodle.org/26/en/External_database_authentication
