MySQL to SQLite conversion and synchronization.

Data migration and synchronization between MySQL and SQLite databases can be easily performed using our DBConvert/ DBSync tools. The software offers flexible customization for full or partial data importing/ exporting, editing and managing target database objects, data mapping and data filtering and many more useful features for efficient MySQL to SQLite replication and migration.

It is equipped with a clear and self-described graphical user interface that is so simple to use that even a beginner will appreciate it.

Several Reasons to convert data from MySQL to SQLite?

  • Portability: SQLite is a self-contained, serverless database engine that is easy to deploy and requires no setup or administration. This makes it a good choice for applications that need to be portable or run on devices with limited resources.
  • Ease of use: SQLite is generally easier to use than MySQL, especially for developers who are new to database programming. It has a smaller footprint and requires fewer configuration options, making it easier to get started with.
  • Performance: In some cases, SQLite may offer better performance than MySQL, especially for small or simple database applications.
  • Integration with other systems: SQLite is often used as an embedded database engine, which means it can be integrated directly into other applications. This can make it easier to build applications that need to access a database.

All options to a project can be saved for later re-execution without need to specify all the settings once again. Three synchronization types allow you to insert, update or delete only changed records to update your databases constantly.

With all the features described on this page, the software becomes the best choice for users who need a quick, easy, and reliable way to synchronize and migrate MySQL data to a SQLite file. Using our tools, you'll see that database conversion and synchronization can be even easier!

Using MySQL to SQLite conversion and synchronization tools.

When launching the DBConvert or DBSync application in GUI mode, it seamlessly guides you through the steps to initiate database migration or synchronization:

1. Connect to MySQL source database.

Specify the username/password and host/port parameters if your source database requires login credentials.

Connect to MySQL source database from DBConvert

2. Connect to SQLite destination database.

Specify parameters for the destination database similar to the source, defining connection settings and username/password pairs.

Connect to SQLite target database from DBConvert

NOTE #1: Each DBConvert or DBSync tool's name comprises two different databases, enabling any specified database to operate as the source or destination. Furthermore, the same type of database can function as both the source and destination.

NOTE #2: Connections to cloud databases (e.g., Amazon RDS, Google Cloud, or Azure SQL) aren't explicitly specified in the user interface but use the same settings as traditional on-premises databases.

NOTE #3: Connections to source and target databases remain active until you close the DBConvert/DBSync application or reopen new connections.

Refer to our documentation for specific source/ destination configurations for different databases.

3. Configure database migration options.

Specify the tables, fields, indices, and views you want to transfer to the SQLite destination database by checking/unchecking the corresponding boxes.

Customize general database/ tables settings. Or configure specific table , field, index object individually when migrating data.

Explore our articles in the user's manual about Configuring database migration options. for detailed information.

The screenshot below summarizes the general features available in DBConvert software.

  1. Select a direct connection or choose dump file as a workaround for firewalls.
  2. Views translation
  3. Flexible customization for all database elements
  4. Bulk Insert and Quantization options are used for speeding up the processing of large data volumes
  5. Conditional data migration and data filters.
  6. Full UNICODE architecture support
  7. Data mapping
  8. Detection of potential data migration issues before starting.
  9. Command line mode. Scheduling
  10. Savable configurations/ sessions

4. Detection of potential database migration issues. Errors and Warnings

The database enforces certain relations on the data, and on the customization step, an intelligent error checker verifies all possible data integrity and referential integrity issues. It highlights any problems before migration starts.

By default, DBConvert attempts to automatically map the database types of the source MySQL database to the closest equivalent of the target SQLite database types. However, you can manually change the data types for the entire database globally using the "Global mapping" or individually for each field.

Explore the Intelligent error checker for more information. on errors and warnings

5. Execution. The final stage of data migration.

Initiate the conversion or synchronization process after configuring source and destination databases in the previous steps.

Click the "Commit" button to start conversion. Here, you can also monitor the migration/synchronization process.

Optionally save connection settings and configuration parameters into the session file to schedule the launching of sync or migration jobs regularly.

Command line mode

Pass previously saved sessions as parameters to the Command-Line DBConvert Client. A session retains MySQL source and SQLite target database connection settings with other specified options.

Example:

C:\Program Files\DBConvert\sqlite2mysqlPro\sqlite2mysqlPro_Cons.exe /Session:"Session_Name"

NOTE: First, run the software in GUI mode to create a session file with initial parameters.

Built-in scheduler.

Our applications include a built-in scheduler to run database migration and sync jobs at specified times. Set the scheduled date and time to execute job sessions automatically.

Supported OS:

Requirements

  • Necessary privileges to write into network shared folder (LAN or VPN) where destination database SQLite resides
  • Necessary privileges to write into database on the target MySQL server (this requirement is optional as there is an option to overcome the restrictions using dump file or PHP Script)
