PostgreSQL Migration Tool

Convert and sync PostgreSQL databases without writing migration scripts.

What the PostgreSQL migration tool does

A desktop tool that moves a whole database - or selected tables - into or out of PostgreSQL: schema, data types, indexes, and keys included.

Targets: on-prem PostgreSQL and managed Postgres on Amazon RDS / Aurora, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, Google Cloud SQL, and Supabase.

DBConvert runs one-time and repeatable migrations, and keeps PostgreSQL and another database aligned after the move.

Source

Any supported database

SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, Access, PostgreSQL, and more.

DBConvert

Configure and run the migration

Select objects, review settings, then transfer the data.

Target

Any supported database

PostgreSQL can be source, target, or both.

Key capabilities

What the PostgreSQL tools handle

Schema and data migration
Move tables and rows into or out of PostgreSQL.

Type mapping
Review how source types land on the target side.

Indexes and keys
Carry core structure along with the data transfer.

Pre-transfer checks
Catch schema and mapping issues before the run.

PostgreSQL schema migration

Migrate the Postgres schema first - review and adjust the type mapping per column before any rows move, so defaults, precision, and identity/serial choices land the way you want.

What it does not do: stored procedures, triggers, and functions written in source-specific SQL are not rewritten into PL/pgSQL - treat that as a separate engineering task.

Migrate to and from PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL can be either side of the migration. Pick a direction to open the exact DBConvert tool for that source and target.

Common directions

  • Into PostgreSQL: SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, Access, Firebird, FoxPro, and other sources.
  • Out of PostgreSQL: reverse the direction when PostgreSQL is the source.
  • Postgres to Postgres: use PostgreSQL as both source and target.

Pick the matching pair from the tools list to open the exact DBConvert tool.

PostgreSQL-family targets

The same workflow moves data between PostgreSQL-family systems:

EDB Postgres is supported through the standard PostgreSQL connection.

When migration becomes synchronization

DBConvert makes the initial move, then keeps PostgreSQL and another database exchanging changes after that move is complete - scheduled or trigger-based.

Convert once, or keep in sync?

Convert - one-time migration

  • One-time source-to-target moves.
  • Repeatable test loads during a migration project.
  • Saved sessions you can run again from the scheduler or CLI.

Sync - ongoing alignment

  • Scheduled sync after the first migration.
  • Trigger-based insert, update, and delete tracking.
  • Selected bidirectional workflows when both systems keep changing.

Cloud synchronization

Sync PostgreSQL databases with Amazon RDS, Aurora, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, Google Cloud SQL, or another PostgreSQL-compatible target while keeping data consistent across staging, production, and reporting systems.

Bidirectional replication

DBConvert supports selected bidirectional replication workflows when both systems continue to receive changes and need to stay aligned.

Need CDC, cross-platform desktop, or AI-assisted data workflows?

DBConvert Streams is the separate product for continuous replication, cross-platform desktop work, and AI-assisted data workflows.

Log-based CDC
Capture ongoing database changes for pipeline-style movement.

Multiplatform desktop
Work across Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Cross-database workspace
Inspect databases, files, and object storage in one SQL environment.

AI-assisted work
Use it when validation, exploration, and pipeline setup matter as much as migration.
