Database migration, conversion, and recurring synchronization
Use DBConvert for one-time database migration and DBSync when SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Access, desktop databases, or cloud databases must stay aligned over time.
Use DBConvert for migration and conversion workflows, and DBSync for recurring database synchronization.
Migration
DBConvert tools move structure and data between database platforms while preserving tables, views, relationships, and data integrity.
Multi-core transfer jobs can process large tables in parallel when the source and target platforms support it.
Use DBConvert for one-time migrations, platform consolidation, test data refreshes, and database modernization projects.
Synchronization
DBSync compares and synchronizes data between databases, including identical, changed, missing, and additional records.
DBSync supports insert, update, drop, trigger-based, and selected bidirectional synchronization workflows.
Use DBSync when data must stay aligned across operational systems, reporting stores, cloud databases, or branch deployments.
Each DBConvert or DBSync pair tool can configure either database as source or destination when the product supports that direction. Use the finder above to locate a matching product page.
The deciding question is whether you need a one-time migration, recurring synchronization, or support for several database platforms in one application.
One-time migration
A single move of schema and data between two database platforms. Simpler choice, lower cost, no features you won't use for one project.
Recurring synchronization is not included - for that you'd add a separate DBSync license for the same database pair.
Recurring sync
Keeping two databases in sync over time - one-way or bidirectional, with Insert / Update / Delete, reusable sessions, scheduled and command-line runs.
Each DBSync license covers a single database pair.
Both / many platforms
Migration and synchronization in one application across multiple platforms - reusable jobs, data distribution to several destinations, no separate purchase per database pair.
Higher cost than a single pair tool if all you need is one migration.
Quick recommendation
All three migrate tables, columns, indexes, views, and foreign keys. Stored procedures, functions, and triggers are not transferred and must be recreated manually.
