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 MySQL 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
binary_float
float
blob
longblob
char
text (if precision > 255)
clob
longtext
date
datetime (if version < 5.6)
long
longtext
long raw
longblob
nchar
text (if precision > 255)
nclob
longtext
number
decimal
nvarchar2
text (if precision > 255 and version < 5)
nvarchar2
text (if precision > 16383 and version >= 5)
raw
binary
rowid
char(16)
sdo_geometry
longtext
urowid
char(16)
varchar2
text (if precision > 255 and version < 5)
varchar2
text (if precision > 16383 and version >= 5)
xmltype
longtext

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

MySQL

We will choose MySQL from the source database engines list. As our MySQL server is on the local machine and we have full privileges, we will simply choose a database from the dropdown menu.

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.
