Convert MariaDB to SQL Server

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 SQL Server 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 unsigned

bigint

binary

varbinary(max) (if precision > 8000)

blob

varbinary(max)

char

varchar(max) (if precision > 8000)

datetime

datetime2 (if version >= 10)

double

float(53)

enum

varchar(255)

int unsigned

bigint

json

nvarchar(max)

longblob

varbinary(max)

longtext

varchar(max)

mediumblob

varbinary(max)

mediumint

int

mediumint unsigned

int

mediumtext

varchar(max)

nchar

nvarchar(max) (if precision > 4000)

nvarchar

nvarchar(max) (if precision > 4000)

set

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

SQL Server

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. Depending on your SQL Server installation, we need to specify the server name, or server\instance name in the Server field.

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.
