Convert Azure SQL to PostgreSQL

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 PostgreSQL compared to Azure SQL . 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

bytea

bit

boolean

char

text (if precision > 10485760)

datetime

timestamp

datetime2

timestamp

datetimeoffset

timestamptz

double

double precision

float

real

geography

text (if spatial_supported is false)

geometry

text (if spatial_supported is false)

hierarchyid

varchar(255)

image

bytea

money

decimal(19,4)

nchar

char (if precision <= 10485760)

nchar

text (if precision > 10485760)

ntext

text

nvarchar

varchar (if precision <= 10485760)

nvarchar

text (if precision > 10485760)

nvarchar(max)

smalldatetime

Full Convert migration in 4 easy steps

Step 1

Azure SQL

We will choose SQL Azure from the list of available source database engines, as SQL Azure is just a special version of SQL Server. To connect to SQL Azure, you will need to use your server URL in the Server field, and the rest is standard (username, password, database name). Just make sure to connect using SQL Server authentication instead of Windows authentication.

Step 2

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 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.
