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 CE compared to PostgreSQL . 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:

boolean
bit
bytea
image
cidr
nvarchar(50)
citext
ntext
date
datetime
double precision
float
enum
nvarchar(255)
float
real
geography
ntext
geometry
ntext
hstore
ntext
inet
nvarchar(50)
interval
int
json
ntext
jsonb
ntext
macaddr
nvarchar(50)
money
decimal(19,2)
oid
image
text
ntext
time
datetime
timestamp
datetime
timestamptz
datetime
uuid
uniqueidentifier
varbit
varbinary
xml
ntext

Full Convert migration in 4 easy steps

Step 1

PostgreSQL

We will choose PostgreSQL from the list of available source database engines. Connecting to Postgres is straightforward - we need to specify server name/IP, username, password and database name.

Step 2

SQL CE

We will choose SQL Server Compact Edition from the list of available source database engines. Connecting to SQL CE database is straightforward - we need to type-in or navigate to the database file (SQLCE databases are stored in SDF files) and specify our password, if the database is protected.

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.
