Converter Plus

Converter Plus is a speedy software utility you can use to convert plain text documents and XML files into databases in XML, SQL and MDB format, compatible with SQL Server, Oracle and Microsoft Access.

It gives you the possibility to select tables and edit properties. Only approachable options are available, so previous experience with such conversion tools isn't necessary.

There is nothing much to say about setup, aside from the fact that there are some software requirements involved. To be more specific, Converter Plus cannot work properly without .NET Framework, Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer.

It's wrapped in a seemingly outdated interface made from a large window with a minimalistic appearance and neatly structured layout, where you can start by locating and opening a plain text document or XML file from a local, removable or network location.

It's possible to view file contents and make modifications just like working in a typical text editor, as well as generate a new file with the XML, SQL or MDB extension by just picking the destination directory, file name and type.

Several configuration options are available for those who want to tinker with database settings. You can pick the field separator between space, tab, semicolon, comma or a custom symbol, include the header in the first row, pick the table and field and edit their names, as well as choose the type and make the field visible. New fields can be easily added on the spot.

Converter Plus carried out tasks quickly in our testing while remaining light on system resources consumption. It needed a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly, and it stayed stable throughout its runtime, without freezing, crashing or prompting errors.

Thanks to its approachable interface and options, this program can be seamlessly handled by those looking to create database-compatible files from regular text documents.
