Convert Access to Interbase

Full Convert is designed for ease of use and reliability to make sure you get your job done as quickly and as simply as possible.

Making migration easy for you

Full Convert is a fully self-tuning software. Your migration will work as expected without you needing to adjust anything.

Data types are different in Interbase compared to Access . We automatically adjust them as we copy the tables so you don't have to worry about it. You can adjust the mapping rules if you wish to change the following defaults:

binary

varchar

bit

boolean (if version >= 7)

bit

smallint (if version < 7)

datetime

timestamp

double

double precision

int

integer

longbinary

blob sub_type 0

money

decimal(18,2)

nchar

char

ntext

blob sub_type 1

nvarchar

varchar

single

float (if precision <= 24)

single

double precision (if precision > 24)

smallmoney

decimal(18,4)

text

blob sub_type 1

tinyint

smallint

uniqueidentifier

char(38)

Full Convert migration in 4 easy steps

Step 1

Access

We will choose Access database from the list of available source database formats and fill in connection properties. You can simply click ellipsis (...) button to select MDB or ACCDB database file. It depends on the version of your database. Access 2007 databases are contained in ACCDB files, while earlier versions are contained in MDB files. If your Access database is protected, fill-in your password as well. In case you use Access workgroups and security, you will need to also find your system database and specify credentials for it.

Step 2

Interbase

We will choose Interbase from the list of available database formats. In the server field we need to type the name or IP address of the Interbase server. If you have Interbase installed on the local machine, where Full Convert is running, you can leave the server field blank. Username and password we don't need to touch in most cases as Full Convert pre-fills the "magic" values which open all Interbase databases. If Interbase is on this machine, we can now simply click ellipsis (...) button to select GDB or IB database file (file extension depends on the version of Interbase). If the file is on remote machine, you need to type the path to the file as remote server sees it. So, if the file is in C:\t\ folder on your server, you need to write the full path, for example: C:\t\filename.GDB.

Step 3

Start the conversion

All source tables are selected for conversion by default. In case you only need some tables, simply deselect the ones you don't need - or deselect all, then select just the tables you do need. Click the Copy your database button to get started.

Click the Copy your database button to get started.

Step 4

Conversion

Conversion is highly-optimized to run as fast as possible, yet provides top-notch reliability. Huge tables are converted in small chunks at a time, preserving memory and ensuring that your computer stays fast and responsive.

Data is now in the target database

Use our built-in database browser to examine the copied data.

Of course, you can also examine the conversion in detail and see in-depth information for each table.
