Convert IBM DB2 for i to dBase

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 dBase compared to IBM DB2 for i . 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:

bigint

numeric(20)

binary

varbinary(10) (if version is 3)

binary

varbinary(4) (if version is vfp)

boolean

logical(1)

clob

text(10) (if version is 3)

clob

text(4) (if version is vfp)

decimal

numeric

nchar

Full Convert migration in 4 easy steps

Step 1

IBM DB2 for i

We will select IBM DB2 for i from the drop down and fill out the connection parameters.

Step 2

dBase

We will choose dBase and FoxPro (DBF) from the list of available database formats. Both dBase and FoxPro use DBF file format for their database table files. Just type-in the folder containing your dBase database tables, or click the ellipsis button on the right and Full Convert will display Browse for Folder dialog.

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.
