Database Migration Tools to SQL Server

If you have ever had to perform a database conversion, you might be wondering what tools are available to perform database conversions.

I have used several tools in the past for my wide variety of database conversions from different platforms such as Informix and Oracle to SQL Server:

  1. Altova MapForce: http://www.altova.com/mapforce.html
  2. EMS Data Pump: http://www.sqlmanager.net/en/products/datapump
  3. Spectral Core Full Convert: https://www.spectralcore.com/fullconvert
  4. SQL Server Migration Assistant: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ssma/archive/2014/08/21/latest-update-microsoft-sql-server-migration-assistant-ssma-v6-0-is-now-available.aspx

Out of all the tools, the one that I found the easiest to use and most user friendly was definitely Spectral Core Full Convert.  It was also the most affordable and the technical support they provided was also excellent!

You can decide for yourself which tool is your favorite!
