Software developers, Programmers can now choose any database of their choice.

From MySQL to Oracle, SQL Server, SQLite, MariaDB, IBMD2, Informix, Cache, Teradata, PostgreSQL, Firebird, CSV and others a lot of options are available today. More choices also gave rise to more problems and one should know their solutions. Considering an example one cannot follow the same method to solve a SQL database that is used for Oracle database recovery.

In the same way, one cannot perform actions on applications which is having MS Access to the application that uses SQL Server as its database platform and to achieve this one requires ESF Database Migration Software

So Database administrators can choose to export the database to another format. If you require the same data that is used by MS Access, in an application that is running on MySQL then convert MS Access to MySQL. There are two methods by which Database tables can be exported to another database. Manual method and automatic method. The manual method uses the connector for file migration while the automatic method uses ESF Database Migration Toolkit.

Taking the example of MS Access and MySQL administrators can follow the manual method for free database conversion.
