Example

Converting data types from Microsoft SQL Server (e.g., 'datetime') to equivalents in MySQL (e.g., 'timestamp').

Scenario

A company migrating their customer relationship management (CRM) system from SQL Server to MySQL would use this feature to ensure that the data remains consistent and operational post-migration.

Example

Ensuring that relational constraints and indexes are preserved during the migration.

Scenario

In migrating an e-commerce platform’s database, it is critical to maintain foreign key relationships between tables like 'Orders' and 'Customers' to prevent data discrepancies.

Example

Generating SQL scripts that are ready to execute on the target database, adapting syntactical differences between database systems.

Scenario

When a tech startup decides to scale and switch from a smaller database like SQLite to a more robust system like PostgreSQL, this feature aids in generating scripts that reformat SQLite queries and structures into PostgreSQL-compatible commands.

Example

Integrating with tools like Git to manage changes in the database schema over time, facilitating rollbacks and version tracking.

Scenario

A development team can manage schema versions as their application evolves, using the Wizard to handle migrations between versions and ensuring all team members are aligned with the current database schema.
