Convert CSV to Interbase

Full Convert is designed for ease of use and reliability to make sure you get your job done as quickly and as simply as possible.

CSV is also known as TSV, Flat file, Comma-separated text, TAB-separated text (related files: csv, tsv, txt).

Interbase is also known as Borland Interbase, Embarcadero Interbase (: ib, gdb).

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 Interbase compared to CSV. 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 integer
  • blob blob sub_type 0
  • datetime timestamp
  • double double precision
  • logical smallint (if version earlier than 7)
  • ntext blob sub_type 1
  • nvarchar varchar

Full Convert migration in 4 easy steps

1.
CSV connection

CSV

We will choose Text from the list of available source database formats and fill in connection properties. You can simply click ellipsis (...) button to select the folder containing your delimited text files. You can also specify the file filter if you wish. By default, we include CSV, TXT, and TSV files.

Default delimiter is Comma (use it if you have comma-delimited files), but you can change it to Tab (for tab-delimited files), or any other character.

2.

Interbase

We will choose Interbase from the list of available database formats.

In the server field we need to type the name or IP address of the Interbase server. If you have Interbase installed on the local machine, where Full Convert is running, you can leave the server field blank. Username and password we don't need to touch in most cases as Full Convert pre-fills the "magic" values which open all Interbase databases.

If Interbase is on this machine, we can now simply click ellipsis (...) button to select GDB or IB database file (file extension depends on the version of Interbase). If the file is on remote machine, you need to type the path to the file as remote server sees it. So, if the file is in C:\t\ folder on your server, you need to write the full path, for example: C:\t\filename.GDB.

Start the conversion

All source tables are selected for conversion by default. In case you only need some tables, simply deselect the ones you don't need - or deselect all, then select just the tables you do need. Click the Copy your database button to get started.

Conversion

Conversion is highly-optimized to run as fast as possible, yet provides top-notch reliability. Huge tables are converted in small chunks at a time, preserving memory and ensuring that your computer stays fast and responsive.
