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.

array

varchar(max)

boolean

bit

bytea

varbinary(max)

char

varchar(max) (if precision > 8000)

cidr

Full Convert migration in 4 easy steps

Step 1

Greenplum

We will select Greenplum from the drop down and fill out the connection parameters.

Step 2

SQL Server Express

We will choose SQL Server from the list of available source database engines. Depending on your SQL Server setup, you will need to connect using Windows or SQL Server authentication. For SQL Express, we need to specify the server\instance name, like this: servername\SQLEXPRESS We have Windows authentication here, so all we need to do is select our desired database from the drop-down list.

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.

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.
