DRPU Database Converter - ORACLE to MySQL

While Oracle is the world's most popular MMDMS (Multi-model data management system) for running online transaction processing (OLTP), data warehousing (DW) and mixed (OLTP & DW) database workloads, some of you who are still learning how to work with this kind of software  probably started out using open-source equivalents such as MySQL. In that case a software tool that enables the conversion from one format to another can come in handy.

DRPU Database Converter - ORACLE to MySQL is such an application, and it allows quick and easy conversion times.

Once the setup is finished, you will be greeted by a minimalist interface which boasts intuitive buttons and tabs. Those of you who have just started using DBMS and even average users can quickly figure out how to use the program. You just have to enter the login credentials in both the Oracle, and MySQL panels, and press "Connect."

You will then be taken to a new screen where you have three checkboxes: Select "Convert table(s) definitions only" checkbox, if you want to convert only table structure, "Skip converting indexes" (if you do not want to convert indexes) and "Converting views." Following this step is another window where you select from of the Oracle database's table you want to convert or, if you want to convert the entire database, check the "Select all" checkbox.

The next screen shows the database conversion process, and if during this time you realize that you may have included or have forgotten one or more tables, you may click "Skip" when the progress bar shows you it reached that table. You may also abort the whole conversion process altogether, by pressing the "Stop" button. Once the transformation is done, you may open the created database and view whether it was properly converted or not.

All aspects considered, from the easy-to-use interface to the customizing options, DRPU Database Converter - ORACLE to MySQL is a good choice for when you want to access and edit databases in your preferred DBMS.
