SQLWays is a leading-edge migration tool that ensures easy and quick transfer of database structures and data between IBM DB2, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, MySQL, Pervasive SQL and other databases.
Being powerful and functionality rich, SQLWays can convert all table and column properties, views, triggers, stored procedures and functions. It possesses such features as specifying local data type mapping for each table and global type mapping for all tables, providing enhanced data type mapping taking into account different maximum lengths and properties of compatible data types, resolving reserved word conflicts and problems with identifiers and renaming each database object and column.
Being especially developed to ensure a flexible and open migration process, SQLWays has the following advantages:
Capable of performing migration to multiple database platforms, SQLWays makes it possible to migrate databases to IBM DB2, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase and MySQL on different platforms and supports a variety of database versions, not being limited to the latest versions only.
Effectively applying database native tools for the import of data, such as Oracle SQL Loader, IBM DB2 LOAD/IMPORT, SQL Server and Sybase BCP, and using the data export and transformation modules written in C/C++, SQLWays has proved to be very efficient and high-performance.
