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 Clipper compared to ODBC . 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
numeric(20)
binary
varbinary(10) (if version is 3)
binary
varbinary(4) (if version is vfp)
bit
logical(1)
datetime
date(8) (if version is 3)
decimal
numeric
hierarchyid
char(254)
int
integer
money
numeric(19,2)
nchar
char
ntext
text(10) (if version is 3)
ntext
text(4) (if version is vfp)
nvarchar
char
real
double(8)
smallint
integer(4)
time
char(5) (if version is 3)
time
datetime(8) (if version is vfp)
timestamp
date(8) (if version is 3)
timestamp
datetime(8) (if version is vfp)
tinyint
integer(4)
ubigint
numeric(20)
uniqueidentifier
char(36)
usmallint
integer(4)
varchar
char
xml
text(10) (if version is 3)
xml
text(4) (if version is vfp)

Full Convert migration in 4 easy steps

Step 1

ODBC

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

Step 2

Clipper

We will choose dBase and FoxPro (DBF) from the list of available database formats. Both dBase and FoxPro use DBF file format for their database table files. Just type-in the folder containing your dBase database tables, or click the ellipsis button on the right and Full Convert will display Browse for Folder dialog.

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.
