Convert SQL Server Express to SQLite

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 SQLite compared to SQL Server Express . 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

blob

bit

integer

char

text

date

datetime

datetime2

datetime

datetimeoffset

text

decimal

double

float

double

geography

text

geometry

text

hierarchyid

text

image

blob

int

integer

money

double

nchar

text

ntext

text

nvarchar

text

nvarchar(max)

smalldatetime

Full Convert migration in 4 easy steps

Step 1

SQL Server Express

We will choose SQL Server from the list of available source database engines. Depending on your SQL Server setup, you will need to connect using Windows or SQL Server authentication. For SQL Express, we need to specify the server\instance name, like this: servername\SQLEXPRESS We have Windows authentication here, so all we need to do is select our desired database from the drop-down list.

Step 2

SQLite

We will choose SQLite from the list of available source database engines. SQL Azure is a cloud version of SQL Server. You will need to use your server URL in the Server field, and the rest is standard (username, password, 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.
