Convert MySQL to SQLite.

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 you start DBConvert or DBSync application in GUI mode it guides you through several steps to set up the database migration or synchronization:

1. Connect to MySQL source database.

If a source database requires you to log in, you can specify a user name/ password and host/ port parameters.

Connect to MySQL source database from DBConvert

2. Connect to SQLite destination database.

Specifying parameters for destination database looks like the same as for source. Usually, it consists of defining connection settings and username/password pairs.

Connect to SQLite target database from DBConvert

NOTE #1: Every DBConvert or DBSync tool has two different databases in its name. That means any specified database from a pair can be set up as a source or destination. Besides, the same type of database may be set up both as a source or destination.

As an example, here is the list of possible migration directions with on-premises databases:

  • MySQL to SQLite
  • SQLite to MySQL
  • MySQL to MySQL
  • SQLite to SQLite

NOTE #2: Don't be confused by the fact that connections to cloud databases like Amazon RDS, Google Cloud, and Heroku are not explicitly specified in the configuration of a source or destination in the DBConvert / DBSync interface. To connect to Cloud database instances, use the same settings as you do for traditional on-premises databases.

NOTE #3: Your connections to source and target databases stay active until you close DBConvert/ DBSync application or reopen new connections on "source" and "destination" steps.

Read more about the specific source/ destination configurations for different databases.

3. Configure database migration options.

At the next step, you can specify precisely which tables, fields, indices, views you want to transfer to the SQLite destination database. Just check/ uncheck the box in front of each database object you want to convert.

Customize general database/ tables settings. Or set up a particular table , field, index individually when migrating data from MySQL to SQLite.

Check out our articles about Configure database migration options. for detailed information.

The screenshot below sums up general features available in DBConvert software solutions.

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

The database typically constrains certain relations on the data that cannot be violated. On the customization step, a smart error checker verifies all possible Data integrity and Referential integrity issues and highlights them, if any, before performing a migration.

By default, DBConvert tries 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.

Check out Smart error checker. Errors and Warnings for more information.

5. Execution. The final stage of data migration from MySQL to SQLite

Once you configure source and destination databases for migration in the previous steps, you can start the actual conversion or synchronization process.

Click the "Commit" button to start conversion. Also, here, you can monitor the migtation/ synchronization process.

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

Read more about execution stage available options.

Command line mode

Previously saved sessions can be passed as parameters to Command-Line DBConvert Client. A session keeps 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, you have to run the software in GUI mode to create a session file with initial parameters.

Built-in scheduler.

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

Supported OS:

Requirements

  • 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)
  • Necessary privileges to write into network shared folder (LAN or VPN) where destination database SQLite resides
