Flex2SQL makes DataFlex database migration easy.

Flex2SQL includes a database migration tool and a middleware database driver. The migration tool transfers your entire database structure and data to the target SQL. Post-migration, the middleware seamlessly integrates with your DataFlex applications, supporting features like RowID, overlaps and underlaps, and relationships. It also allows you to call complex stored procedures and functions and embed SQL into your code for easier data management and manipulation.

 

Convert from DataFlex to five perferred databases.

DataFlex to MS SQL Server

Mertech released the first connectivity driver to migrate from DataFlex to MS SQL Server in 1998.  Since then, we have continued investing in the product, consistently introducing cutting-edge features that empower DataFlex developers to transition from DataFlex to SQL Server easily.  Whether you want to run your application on-premise or in the cloud with SQL Azure, we have you covered. 

DataFlex to Oracle 

Mertech is the industry leader in offering native database connectivity from  DataFlex to Oracle.  Flex2SQL for Oracle has been a commercial product since 1998 and is used at small and large sites with thousands of concurrent users. Whether you use the latest 64-bit Unicode edition of DataFlex or the legacy character mode DataFlex on Linux, we can help you adopt the Oracle database.

DataFlex to PostgreSQL 

PostgreSQL, or "Postgres," is a reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient open-source database management system with advanced features, compatibility with various tech stacks, and robust security measures. Its active user community ensures continuous development and improvement.   Postgres is an appealing option for software vendors looking to build scalable and secure cloud applications on Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS.

DataFlex to MySQL & MariaDB 

MySQL and MariaDB are widely used RDBMS with the same roots.  Choosing between them depends on your needs and preferences. MariaDB might be better if you value open-source principles and community-driven development. However, MySQL, especially the Enterprise Edition, may be preferable if you require enterprise-level support.  

Supported versions and requirements

Flex2SQL works with  both 32-bit and 64-bit Unicode versions of DataFlex (See product roadmap)

Flex2SQL Classic Edition drivers work with all  32-bit versions of DataFlex, including legacy character mode versions running on Linux and console mode. Learn more about the platforms and versions supported by Flex2SQL Classic Edition.
