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 Greenplum 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 precision
binary_float
real
blob
bytea
char
text (if precision > 10485760)
clob
text
date
timestamp
float
real
interval day to second
interval
interval year to month
interval
long
text
long raw
bytea
nchar
char (if precision <= 10485760)
nchar
text (if precision > 10485760)
nclob
text
number
decimal
nvarchar2
varchar (if precision <= 10485760)
nvarchar2
text (if precision > 10485760)
raw
bytea
rowid
char(16)
sdo_geometry
geometry (if spatial_supported is true)
sdo_geometry
text (if spatial_supported is false)
urowid

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

Greenplum

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

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.
