Firebird to PostgreSQL

Due to incompatibility issues, database migration requires dedicated tools to be carried out. Luckily, there are various software applications that you can use. For your convenience, most of them adopt a wizard-based approach and Firebird to PostgreSQL makes no difference, as you will be able to read about it below.

Firebird to PostgreSQL makes it possible for you to quickly convert a Firebird database to PostgreSQL without managing indexes and relationships between tables on your own. It is al in the care of this wizard-like application, which manages to migrate the original database either to the PostgreSQL server directly or export it to a SQL script file that can be imported to PostgreSQL afterwards.

The first step of the wizard prompts you to provide the necessary information to set up the connection to the PostgreSQL server. To be more specific, the application requires you to fill in the host name (or IP address), the port number to use, as well as your credentials (username and password). You are also free to choose the source database at this point and, if you choose not to, the application will simply use the default one. Alternatively, if you choose to export the data to an SQL script file, the wizard prompts you to choose the Firebird database and select the target script file.

There are a few additional steps ahead that require you to provide the name of the target PostgreSQL database. You can also opt to skip converting indexes or convert table definitions only. Once the connection to the source database is established, Firebird to PostgreSQL scans all the available tables and allows you to choose the ones to convert to PostgreSQL.

Firebird to PostgreSQL allows you to monitor its progress as it converts all the tables, one by one. This operation can be cancelled at any time.

Firebird to PostgreSQL provides a quick and easy method to convert Firebird 10, 11 and 12 databases to PostgreSQL. With options to customize the resulting table structure inside a wizard-style GUI, the application can convert indexes and relationships between tables without risking data loss or corruption. It is worth a try if you plan on migrating from Firebird to PostgreSQL.
