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 Vertica compared to SQL CE . 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:

bit
boolean
datetime
timestamp
float
double precision
image
long varbinary
int
bigint
money
decimal(19,4)
nchar
char (if precision <= 65000)
nchar
long varchar (if precision > 65000)
ntext
long varchar
nvarchar
varchar (if precision <= 65000)
nvarchar
long varchar (if precision > 65000)
real
float
smallint
bigint
timestamp
bigint
tinyint
bigint
uniqueidentifier
binary(16)
varbinary
long varbinary (if precision > 65000)

Full Convert migration in 4 easy steps

Step 1

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 2

Vertica

We will select Vertica 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.
