Convert IBM DB2 for i to Oracle

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 Oracle 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

number(20)

binary

blob

boolean

number(1)

decimal

number

double

binary_double

integer

number(10)

nchar

nclob (if precision > 1000)

nvarchar

nclob (if oracle_extended is true and precision > 16383)

nvarchar

nclob (if oracle_extended is false and precision > 2000)

real

binary_float

smallint

number(5)

time

date

timestz

timestamp

uniqueidentifier

raw(16)

varbinary

blob

varchar

clob (if oracle_extended is true and precision > 32767)

varchar

clob (if oracle_extended is false and precision > 4000)

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

Oracle

We will choose Oracle from the source database engines list. We can connect to our Oracle in two ways. If we have Oracle Client installed, simply typing the service name and specifying login info is all we need. However, when you don't want to install 100MB+ of OCI installation, we have a nice surprise! We can connect to Oracle using a direct TCP/IP connection. No OCI required. In addition to database name and login info, we would just need to specify server name or IP - and done.

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.

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.
