Migration Utility

The Flex2SQL Utility Classic contains all the features that a developer needs to migrate an existing DataFlex application to an SQL back-end or to integrate non-DataFlex tables into his/her application. Mertech designed the easy-to-use, intuitive user interface with the assumption that the user does not require detailed knowledge of the target back-end.

The Flex2SQL Classic product bundle is comprised of
  1. a GUI migration tool that takes your existing DataFlex tables and indexes and migrates them to your target back-end, creating the table structures, index structures, and RECNUM values for all the files in the filelist and

  2. the database driver DLL or shared-object that works with the DataFlex runtime and handles all client/server connection and database operations. Flex2SQL supports migration to Oracle, MS SQL Server, MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL.

Flex2SQL Utility Classic lets you set global preferences for script generation, file casing, field mappings, date handling, and more. Custom preferences can also be selected for a specific migration. A built in browser lets you examine both DataFlex and converted tables. Flex2SQL can also create new tables and indexes or restructure existing tables and indexes.

The enhancements made to date make Flex2SQL Utility Classic a well-rounded tool that supports procedures required before, during, and after a migration.
