With DBConvert for Firebird and MS SQL users can easily select their tables and start converting them.
DBConvert for Firebird and MS SQL is an application with database migration capabilities which helps you perform two-way conversions from MS SQL to Firebird and from Firebird databases to MS SQL server. The tool is also applicable for MS SQL database migration to another MS SQL database and is quite adept at copying a Firebird database to another Firebird database. It handles conversion of InterBase databases too.
DBConvert for Firebird and MS SQL provides the bulk of functional capabilities such as interactive (GUI) mode/command line mode, saving data into a MS SQL Dump for further export to MS SQL database, task planner scheduling, data mapping, data filtering, preverification of possible conversion errors, etc.
You can convert Firebird to MS SQL or MS SQL to Firebird simply by configuring several options through a Wizard interface or in command line mode. Command line parameters added to a scheduling function enables you to automatically synchronize or convert data regularly without user input and supplementary settings.
DBConvert for Firebird and MS SQL provides you with the ability to create Dumps for indirect data uploading on MS SQL thereby offering a workaround to possible server restrictions. It allows you to convert databases of old InterBase formats to Firebird and vice versa.
Filtering data during conversion allows you to retrieve only specific data for converted tables according to defined filtering criteria. Filters give you more control on the data migration process. Possible conversion errors can be detected before the conversion process gets started. The tool displays errors and potential problems with your table objects beforehand.
