SQLite to MSSQL

Database migration is no easy task, as several compatibility issues might occur, not to mention the risk of data loss. Luckily, there are dedicated applications that can be of help in this regard.

One example is SQLite to MSSQL, a handy software utility that enables you to migrate from SQLite to Microsoft SQL Server or Azure SQL without a lot of hassle. Relying on a wizard-based approach, the application features one-way database conversion and comes with support for all the versions of SQL Server, including Azure SQL, as mentioned before.

It is worth mentioning that the SQLite to MSSQL conversion wizard can either move the SQLite database directly to SQL Server or export it all into a T-SQL script file.

Migrating directly to SQL Server implies establishing a direct connection to the source and the destination databases, without using ODBC or other software, which streamlines the entire process. Consequently, the processing speed is faster as well.

Database indexes, tables and relationships between them are all exported. Moreover, you have the option to merge SQLite data into an existing SQL Server database.

Another available option is to export the SQLite database to a T-SQL script file, which can contain the “CREATE DATABASE” and “CREATE TABLE” statements, as well as all the available comments. The second step allows you to enter the name of the SQLite database (or browse for its location directly) and select the path of the resulting script file. The wizard allows you to skip converting indexes or only convert table definitions. Optionally, you can configure SQLite to MSSQL to log all the actions it undertakes.

Thanks to its wizard-like GUi, working with SQLite to MSSQL is a breeze. In just a few steps, you can easily migrate your data from SQLite to SQL Server, all without worrying about compatibility issues or data loss. Moreover, thanks to the command line support, the application allows you to script, automate and schedule the entire conversion process.
