SQL Server
Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database from Microsoft. Its origins are in Sybase SQL Server, when Microsoft and Sybase jointly created a version of it for IBM OS/2. When Sybase and Microsoft parted ways, Microsoft reserved the SQL Server name for all releases of the software on Microsoft operating systems. Somewhat ironically, Sybase later had to rename its own product to Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise to avoid confusion with Microsoft SQL Server.
We support SQL Server directly in our products! You don't need separate drivers and can immediately connect to your database.
While Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 and 2000 still extended and modified the Sybase database server code, starting with SQL Server 2015 Microsoft completely rewrote the codebase, meaning the product no longer contains any original Sybase code.
Microsoft SQL Server is an extremely popular database, with a level of adoption similar to Oracle and MySQL. Oracle is still used more often for the largest enterprise installations, as it was designed from the start as a distributed database system.
SQL Server is the database engine of choice for many Microsoft .NET developers because it integrates tightly with Microsoft Visual Studio and simplifies application development. Starting with SQL Server 2005, SQL Server can even host the Microsoft .NET Framework runtime itself, allowing stored procedures, functions, and triggers to be written in .NET languages such as C# and VB.NET.
One of Microsoft SQL Server’s strengths is the inclusion of powerful business intelligence technologies. These include Analysis Services (for OLAP and data mining), Reporting Services, and Integration Services (ETL tools used for data import, integration, and data warehousing).
SQL Server data types we support
Export SQL Server Database
It may make sense to migrate your data away from SQL Server. You may want to do it permanently or just need to share your tables with a collague in a different format.
We will copy all your tables with their data and apply indexing and relationships exactly as they are in your current SQL Server database. In a nutshell, you get exactly the same database in another database engine. Each time you run the migration, we will copy all the tables again. Of course, we have a built-in scheduler, so you can run this overnight and have a fresh database copy in the morning.
Take a look at the quick tutorials below to see how it's done.
Import data into SQL Server Database
Additionally, if you want to import data on a regular basis and do not want to recreate the whole target database from scratch every time, but rather do tiny targeted sync of only changes since the last run, please use Full Convert Pro or Ultimate.
