In the current tech-driven world, most of the business processes is occurred digitally using new age software applications and tools. Companies systematize and convert their significant documents and information into digital formats and then store it in databases for prospect use. These databases are based on a variety of formats and are processed by relational database management systems (RDBMS). Each of these formats has its own benefit and disadvantages that’s why organizations sometimes need to shift their data to new RDBMS. Data migration is a process of transferring or shifting the crucial business data from one database management system to another one.

Being established in 2001, Intelligent Converters is one such company that specializes in data conversion and synchronization techniques. The primary goal of their software is to convert data between popular formats without loss of information. Intelligent Converters develop efficient software solutions, widely acclaimed for their simplistic interface and features. Their products are used by thousands of organizations ranged from small businesses to huge international corporations across the world. They have developed data migration toolkits and converters for comprehensive data conversion between the most popular databases like Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft Access, SQLite to MySQL, Microsoft SQL, IBM DB2 and PostgreSQL. All of those tools combine easiness of use with enough capacity to assure the best quality of the conversion process.

The process of migrating data from one RDBMS to another is not so simple. Initially, source and destination databases may have unequal set of data types and attributes. In general, data types that do not have direct equivalent should be processed by translating into the most appropriate type in the target database. Another possible issue is that both RDBMS may be configured with diverse encodings. In this case, it is necessary to perform suitable decoding for every attribute such as text data during the migration process. If the database also implements some business logic in form of stored procedures and triggers, these components also must be transformed into the destination format.

Let us consider how dedicated products can help to migrate databases with less effort. For example, Oracle to PostgreSQL is a program developed by Intelligent Converters which facilitates data migration of Oracle databases to PostgreSQL server. The program can filter data to convert using SELECT-queries that make the conversion process more flexible. Option to synchronize PostgreSQL database with Oracle data allows implementing incremental database updates on daily basis. Finally, command line support gives the opportunity to script, automate and schedule database migration or synchronization. Nowadays, many companies also prefer MySQL database management system as it is cost-effective, cross-platform, open basis and perfect for web based applications. If you operate Oracle database you can transfer it to MySQL server using Oracle Migration Toolkit provided by Intelligent Converters. Backward data conversion is also possible due to such migration tools as MySQL to PostgreSQL.
