Choose the migration approach

Keep the current engine for a hosting move, or convert the schema while re-platforming.

Same-engine migration

Use the same connector family on both sides when moving an existing database into or out of Cloud SQL without changing its SQL dialect.

Even on a same-engine move, compare server versions, collations, extensions, authentication, and managed-service restrictions.

Prepare the Cloud SQL connection

DBConvert uses a database connection; Cloud SQL networking and authorization remain in Google Cloud.

Connection checklist

  1. 1.Choose a direct public or private IP connection, or expose a local TCP endpoint through Cloud SQL Auth Proxy.
  2. 2.For direct public-IP access, add the Windows client's address to Authorized networks.
  3. 3.Copy the instance address, port, database name, database username, and password.
  4. 4.Configure SSL/TLS and CA or client certificates required by the instance SSL mode.
  5. 5.Test representative tables and mappings before the full transfer.

Choose the product after the connection test

DBConvert for the migration

Use it for schema and data transfer, test loads, or an export from Cloud SQL.

DBSync for ongoing comparison

Use it for scheduled row comparison. Trigger-based and bidirectional modes depend on engine features and Cloud SQL privileges, so verify the intended mode with the trial.
