Convert SQL Anywhere to SQL Server Express LocalDB

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 SQL Server Express LocalDB compared to SQL Anywhere . 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

varbinary(max) (if precision > 8000)

char

varchar(max) (if precision > 8000)

datetime

datetime2 (if version >= 10)

double

float(53)

integer

int

long binary

varbinary(max)

long nvarchar

nvarchar(max)

long varchar

varchar(max)

nchar
