MS SQL Server Tables To PostgreSQL Converter Software

Because of its ease of use, Microsoft SQL remains one of the most popular relational database management systems (RDBMS) today. However, there are a few shortcomings that many programmers and administrators have surely noticed. One of them is, of course, cost related, as Microsoft applies a strict licensing policy.

Another shortcoming can be attributed to the fact that MS SQL only runs in Windows. If you need to reduce costs or run your server on other operating system, then one of the recommended courses of action is to switch to the open-source PostgreSQL. You could do that with the help of a number of programs, including one titled MS SQL Server Table To PostgreSQL Converter Software.

From its minimalistic interface, you can transfer tables from one RDBMS to another. The program can transfer text-based and numeric fields, but it cannot do the same for binary or picture fields. You must provide the credentials for both database systems in their appropriate text boxes, which include server, port, username, password, and database name. Also, you can test the connections for both databases before you perform any transfers.

After you click Start Converting, you can track the progress of the operation via the progress bar at the bottom of the window.
