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 MariaDB . 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)
bigint unsigned
number(20)
binary
blob
bit
number(1)
datetime
date
decimal
number
double
binary_double
enum
varchar2(255)
float
binary_float
geography
sdo_geometry
geometry
sdo_geometry
int
number(10)
int unsigned
number(20)
json
nclob
longblob
blob
longtext
clob
mediumblob
blob
mediumint
number(10)
mediumint unsigned
number(10)
mediumtext
clob
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)
set
varchar2(255)
smallint
number(5)
smallint unsigned
number(10)

Full Convert migration in 4 easy steps

Step 1

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 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.

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.
