Convert Amazon RDS to SQL Azure

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.

SQL Azure is also known as Azure, Microsoft Azure, SQL Server Azure

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 Azure compared to Amazon RDS. 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:

  • bigint unsigned bigint
  • binary varbinary(max) (if precision > 8000)
  • blob varbinary(max)
  • char varchar(max) (if precision > 8000)
  • datetime datetime2 (if version at least 10)
  • double float(53)
  • enum varchar(255)
  • int unsigned bigint
  • json nvarchar(max)
  • longblob varbinary(max)
  • longtext varchar(max)
  • mediumblob varbinary(max)
  • mediumint int
  • mediumint unsigned int
  • mediumtext varchar(max)
  • nchar nvarchar(max) (if precision > 4000)
  • nvarchar nvarchar(max) (if precision > 4000)
  • set varchar(255)
  • smallint unsigned int
  • text varchar(max)
  • timestamp datetime2 (if version at least 10)
  • timestamp datetime (if version earlier than 10)
  • tinyblob varbinary(max)
  • tinyint smallint
  • tinyint unsigned tinyint
  • tinytext varchar(max)
  • varbinary varbinary(max) (if precision > 8000)
  • varchar varchar(max) (if precision > 8000)
  • year int

Full Convert migration in 4 easy steps

1.
Amazon RDS connection

Amazon RDS

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

2.

SQL Azure

We will choose SQL Azure from the list of available source database engines, as SQL Azure is just a special version of SQL Server.

To connect to SQL Azure, you will need to use your server URL in the Server field, and the rest is standard (username, password, database name). Just make sure to connect using SQL Server authentication instead of Windows authentication.

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.

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.
