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 VistaDB 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:

binary
varbinary(max) (if precision > 8000)
blob
varbinary(max)
boolean
bit
char
varchar(max) (if precision > 8000)
clob
varchar(max)
double
float(53)
integer
int
nchar
nvarchar(max) (if precision > 4000)
nclob
nvarchar(max)
nvarchar
nvarchar(max) (if precision > 4000)
real
float
timestamp
datetime2 (if version >= 10)
timestamp
datetime (if version < 10)
timestz
datetimeoffset
varbinary
varbinary(max) (if precision > 8000)

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.
