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 Teradata 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
byte
bit
byteint
datetime
timestamp
datetime2
timestamp
datetimeoffset
timestamp with time zone
geography
varchar(32000)
geometry
varchar(32000)
hierarchyid
varchar(255)
image
blob
int

money
decimal(19,4)
nchar

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

Teradata

We will select Teradata 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.
