Making migration easy for you

Full Convert is a fully self-tuning software. Your migration will work as expected without you needing to adjust anything.

Data types are different in dBase compared to Progress. We automatically adjust them as we copy the tables so you don't have to worry about it. You can adjust the mapping rules if you wish to change the following defaults:

  • bigint numeric(20)
  • binary varbinary(10) (if version is 3)
  • binary varbinary(4) (if version is vfp)
  • bit logical(1)
  • character char
  • clob text(10) (if version is 3)
  • clob text(4) (if version is vfp)
  • datetime date(8) (if version is 3)
  • double precision double(8)
  • real double(8)
  • smallint integer(4)
  • time char(5) (if version is 3)
  • time datetime(8) (if version is vfp)
  • timestamp date(8) (if version is 3)
  • timestamp datetime(8) (if version is vfp)
  • timestamp_timezone date(8) (if version is 3)
  • timestamp_timezone datetime(8) (if version is vfp)
  • tinyint integer(4)
  • varchar char
