Convert Oracle to Clipper

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 Clipper compared to Oracle . 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_double

double(8)

binary_float

double(8)

clob

text(10) (if version is 3)

clob

text(4) (if version is vfp)

date

datetime(8) (if version is vfp)

float

double(8)

long

text(10) (if version is 3)

long

text(4) (if version is vfp)

long raw

varbinary(10) (if version is 3)

long raw

varbinary(4) (if version is vfp)

nchar

char

nclob

text(10) (if version is 3)

nclob

text(4) (if version is vfp)

number

nvarchar2

varbinary(10) (if version is 3)

varbinary(4) (if version is vfp)

rowid

Full Convert migration in 4 easy steps

Step 1

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 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.
