Convert Access to MariaDB

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 MariaDB 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

longblob

char

text (if precision > 255)

longbinary

longblob

money

decimal(19,2)

nchar

text (if precision > 255)

ntext

longtext

nvarchar

text (if precision > 255 and version < 5)

nvarchar

text (if precision > 16383 and version >= 5)

single

float

smallmoney

decimal(19,4)

text

longtext

tinyint

tinyint unsigned

uniqueidentifier

binary(16)

varchar

text (if precision > 255 and version < 5)

varchar

text (if precision > 16383 and version >= 5)

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

MariaDB

We will choose MariaDB from the source database engines list. As our MariaDB server is on the local machine and we have full privileges, we will simply choose a database from the dropdown menu.

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.
