Convert SQL Server Express LocalDB to MySQL

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.

MySQL is also known as MyISAM, InnoDB (: frm, myd, myi).

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 MySQL compared to SQL Server Express LocalDB. 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 earlier than 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 earlier than 5)
  • nvarchar text (if precision > 16383 and version at least 5)
  • nvarchar(max) longtext
  • smalldatetime datetime (if version earlier than 5.6)
  • smalldatetime datetime
  • smallmoney decimal(19,4)
  • text longtext
  • timestamp longblob
  • tinyint tinyint unsigned
  • uniqueidentifier binary(16)
  • varbinary longblob
  • varbinary(max) longblob
  • varchar text (if precision > 255 and version earlier than 5)
  • varchar text (if precision > 16383 and version at least 5)
  • varchar(max) longtext
  • xml longtext
