What is the price?
Pricing depends on your project and chosen tools — the databases and their size, the number of code objects, the customizations required, and the project duration. The fastest way to a firm number is an expert assessment service, during which we scope effort and timelines against your actual environment; from there we quote a fixed price before any work begins.
Book a call and we'll walk you through the options for your case.
What databases does the tool support?
SQLWays covers 150+ migration directions across the major commercial and open-source engines and their cloud equivalents: Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, IBM Db2 (LUW, AS/400, z/OS), Informix, Sybase ASE/ASA, Teradata, MariaDB, Firebird, SAP HANA, Greenplum, and more — with targets on AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud. The full, current list is on the Supported Migration Directions page.
Can I try SQLWays for free?
Yes. A free trial is available and converts up to 1,500 lines of code or 2 GB of data, so you can test conversion quality on your own schema and objects before committing. Download the tool to start, or book a demo and an Ispirer expert will tailor the trial to your migration direction and project scope.
What data migration speed do you provide?
It depends on the tool and your environment. SQLWays migrates data at up to 60 GB/hour, which suits most schema-and-data migration projects. For high-volume or near-zero-downtime migrations, Ispirer Data Migrator (IDM) reaches 250 GB/hour by using Foreign Data Wrappers and parallel multithreading, with Change Data Capture keeping source and target in sync until cutover. Actual throughput varies with hardware, network, and source and target database settings.
Can SQLWays migrate a database to/from a cloud?
Yes. SQLWays migrates databases to and from the major cloud platforms — Google Cloud, AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle Cloud — in either direction, whether you're moving on-premises systems to the cloud, migrating between clouds, or consolidating cloud databases onto a new engine. Ispirer supports tool-driven migration methodologies for AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI.
What are the best tools for migrating applications and data?
Pair a code tool with a data tool — the stages have different demands. For code, CodeWays converts source, embedded SQL, business logic, and database APIs across outdated stacks (COBOL, Delphi, PowerBuilder, Oracle Forms, C/C++) and can move desktop apps to web; one project moved C/C++ and AutoLISP to C#.NET. For data, IDM handles high-volume transfer with continuous CDC sync. Code conversion is a one-time transformation; live-system data migration is a continuous sync problem until cutover — one tool optimized for each beats a compromise on both.
