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 MariaDB compared to VistaDB . 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:

char
text (if precision > 255)
datetime2
datetime (if version < 5.6)
datetime2
datetime
datetimeoffset
timestamp
geography
longtext
geometry
longtext
hierarchyid
varchar(255)
image
longblob
money
decimal(19,4)
nchar
text (if precision > 255)
ntext
longtext
nvarchar
text (if precision > 255 and version < 5)
nvarchar
text (if precision > 16383 and version >= 5)
nvarchar(max)
longtext
smalldatetime
datetime (if version < 5.6)

Full Convert migration in 4 easy steps

Step 1

VistaDB

We will select VistaDB from the drop down and fill out the connection parameters.

Step 2

MariaDB

We will choose MariaDB from the source database engines list. As our MariaDB server is on the local machine and we have full privileges, we will simply choose a database from the dropdown menu.

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.
