Cross-engine type mapping
Maps MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle data types to PostgreSQL equivalents so tables land cleanly in Neon.
Neon Postgres Migration Tools
Serverless PostgreSQL migration and synchronization
Move data to and from Neon with DBConvert and DBSync tools for PostgreSQL-compatible cloud deployments, branching workflows, and serverless applications.
Both directions
Migrate in and out of Neon
Cross-engine
MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle → Postgres
DBSync
Scheduled, repeatable sync
Why Choose DBConvert for Neon Migration?
Neon is a serverless PostgreSQL platform that separates compute and storage for autoscaling, branching, and fast provisioning.
Its quick import is Postgres-to-Postgres. For MySQL, SQL Server, or SQLite, Neon's docs point to third-party tools like pgloader - and those load one way, into Neon only.
DBConvert is one desktop tool that goes both ways:
- Load MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, Access, or FoxPro into Neon - type mapping, schema, and keys handled.
- Export Neon back out to self-managed PostgreSQL.
- DBSync adds scheduled sync for phased cutovers.
PostgreSQL-Compatible Connection Model
Neon uses standard PostgreSQL connection parameters with SSL. Connect DBConvert or DBSync with the Neon endpoint details - see PostgreSQL migration tools for engine-specific workflows.
Start your Neon migration
Pick your other database - each converter runs both ways, into Neon or back out. Free trial, Windows.
Leaving Neon? Same downloads export back out. More sources + DBSync below.
What DBConvert Handles on a Neon Migration
Cross-engine conversion in both directions, with scheduled sync - in one desktop tool.
Schema, indexes, and keys
Recreates tables, primary and foreign keys, and supported indexes - not just raw rows.
Both directions
Load data into Neon, or export Neon back to self-managed PostgreSQL or another engine.
Scheduled sync
DBSync keeps Neon and a source database aligned during a phased cutover, not a one-time copy.
Standard PostgreSQL connection
Connects over the Neon endpoint with SSL - a normal Postgres connection string, no special setup.
Reusable jobs
Save a migration and re-run it as the dataset changes or you stage the move in steps.
Neon Connection Parameters
Use the connection details from the Neon dashboard when configuring DBConvert or DBSync.
PostgreSQL Parameters
- Host: the Neon endpoint host from your dashboard
- Port: 5432
- Database: your Neon database name
- SSL Mode: require
Secure Cloud Access
The actual host, password, and credentials are provided by Neon. Use SSL/TLS for all cloud database connections.

PostgreSQL ↔ Neon (same engine)
