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 compared to SAP IQ . 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
nvarchar(max) (if precision > 4000)
long binary
varbinary(max)
long varchar
nvarchar(max)
real
float(53)
real
float(53)
smallmoney
decimal(19,2)
timestamp
datetime2 (if version >= 10)

datetime (if version < 10)

Full Convert migration in 4 easy steps

SAP IQ

Step 2

SQL Server

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. Depending on your SQL Server installation, we need to specify the server name, or server\instance name in the Server field.

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.
