This article discusses converting MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, Microsoft Access, and SQL Dump databases to each other using Database Full Converter and Database Publishing Wizard software.
There are various softwares for converting different databases to each other, among the most popular ones, we can mention: Database Full Converter and Database Publishing Wizard. In the following, we will discuss how to convert different databases to each other, which is used in the implementation of projects in Linux and Windows hosting services.
Convert database Access Microsoft to database Microsoft SQL Server
Step 1: First, we double-click on the Full Convert software to open the window in Figure 1. Then click on Create new conversion option.
Second step: In this section, you must select the current database, which is Access, in the Available source databases section. On the right side of the current page, under the Filename section, enter the complete path where the Access database is located, or click on the “…” sign to find its path and click on the Next option.
Step 3: Select the SQL Server database on the destination database selection page. On the right side of the current page, if SQL Server is running locally on your system, you should just find your database name next to Database.
Note: If your database version is older than SQL 6.5, select the Compatible option.
If your server database is located in a network, in addition to the above factors, you must also enter the name or IP of the server in the Server field.
Note: For the SQL Server Express version, it is necessary to enter the Server field as SERVERNAMEINSTANCE (myserversqlexpress).
Fourth step: now it is necessary to select the necessary tables to convert to SQL Server in the Convert section and put the ones you don’t intend to convert in the Do not convert section. Then click on the Next option.
Fifth step: Ready to convert your data page! In fact, the final page is your database conversion. By default, the “I want to convert immediately” option is selected, which is actually the right option for our conversion. Then click on the Convert button.
Note: The option “I will first explore my target database and run the conversion myself” actually only allows us to find the destination database.
Step 6: After completing the above steps, a confirmation window will appear, and in order not to be asked the question in the box, you can select the Always show this dialog option and then click on the Continue option. By clicking on continue, the process of converting the source database to the destination database starts.
Seventh step: In the Converting your database window, you can stop the conversion process whenever you think necessary, for this purpose, just click on the Cancel option. In this window, you can see the speed of data transfer from the source database to the destination database and the number of processed records of each table.
Step 8: After the conversion, you will be able to see the summary of the conversion and the errors and warnings, which you can save separately if needed. In the SQL Log tab, you can view the SQL script and save it if you use and execute it in another database (especially in different versions).
Step 9: On the final page called Navigating structure tree, you will be able to see the destination database. At the same time, you can apply various modifications, such as changing the column name or structure, or changing its type, deleting old columns, extracting a part of a table in a new table, etc.
Note: Due to the repetition of the first, second, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth steps in all conversions of this article, they have been avoided to be mentioned again and only the mentioned steps have been mentioned.
