SQL Server Migration Tools

Convert and sync SQL Server databases without writing migration scripts.

Microsoft SQL Server

Migration and synchronization solutions

DBConvert provides SQL Server data migration tools for moving data to and from other database platforms:

PostgreSQL MySQL SQLite DB2 Access Excel CSV Azure SQL Amazon RDS

Choose a dedicated SQL Server migration tool below for one-way conversion, repeatable jobs, or optional data synchronization after the first transfer.

What the SQL Server migration tool does

Every direction into or out of SQL Server runs the same three steps and carries the full schema - data types, indexes, and keys - not just the rows.

Source

Any supported database

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

↓→

DBConvert

Configure and run the migration

Select objects, review the type mapping, then transfer the data.

↓→

Target

Any supported database

SQL Server can be source, target, or both.

What the SQL Server tools handle

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

Type mapping
Review how source and SQL Server types line up before the run.

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

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

Choose your SQL Server migration scenario

Modernize legacy data, move to the cloud, or cut licensing costs - each routes to the right tool.

Modernize legacy data

Bring Access or FoxPro data into SQL Server - a same-vendor upgrade off aging desktop databases.

Move to the cloud

Same engine, less maintenance - run SQL Server as a managed cloud service, upgrade versions, or move on-prem ↔ cloud either way.

Cut licensing costs

Move SQL Server to a free, open-source database and drop per-core licensing.

Synchronize SQL Server Data

Keep SQL Server and another database aligned after migration

DBConvert or DBSync?

Use DBConvert for migration

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

Use DBSync for 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 SQL Server databases with Azure SQL, Amazon RDS for SQL Server, Google Cloud SQL, or another supported target while keeping data consistent across staging, production, and reporting systems.

Bidirectional replication

DBSync supports selected bidirectional replication workflows when both SQL Server and another database keep receiving changes and need to stay aligned.

Why Use DBConvert for SQL Server Migration?

Although you can use the SQL Server Migration Assistant to automate database migration from multiple DBMSs to SQL Server, they have some drawbacks. DBConvert products address these shortcomings.
