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.

Source database is known as SQL Server Compact Edition, SQL Compact, SQL CE, SQLCE (related files: sdf).

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 Progress compared to the source SQL Server CE. 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:

  • datetime timestamp
  • decimal numeric
  • float double precision
  • image blob
  • int integer
  • money numeric(19,4)
  • nchar character
  • ntext clob
  • nvarchar varchar
  • timestamp blob
  • tinyint smallint
  • uniqueidentifier binary(16)
  • varbinary blob
