Convert Ingres to Firebird

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.

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 Firebird compared to Ingres. 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:

  • boolean smallint (if version earlier than 3)
  • byte blob sub_type 0
  • byte var varchar
  • float double precision
  • ingresdate timestamp
  • integer int
  • long byte blob sub_type 0
  • long nvarchar blob sub_type 1
  • long varchar blob sub_type 1
  • money decimal(18,2)
  • nchar char
  • nvarchar varchar
  • real float (if precision <= 24)
  • real double precision (if precision > 24)
  • timestamp with time zone timestamp
  • tinyint smallint

Full Convert migration in 4 easy steps

1.
Ingres connection

Ingres

We will select Ingres from the drop down and fill out the connection parameters.

2.

Firebird

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

In the server field we need to type the name or IP address of the Firebird server. If you have Firebird 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 opens all Firebird databases.

If Firebird is on this machine, we can now simply click ellipsis (...) button to select FDB database file. 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.FDB.

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.
