Ispirer Toolkit Improvements

Dear customers and friends,

We are thrilled to announce that Ispirer Toolkit has been majorly updated. We are constantly working hard for adding a ton of new conversion rules to make the migration process smoother and faster. We value our customers’ time and care about the efficiency of using our solutions, so the more conversion rules - the better quality of the migration.

Besides, we don’t forget about user-friendliness. Ispirer Toolkit has significant upgrades in GUI to make working with our tool even more convenient. We have simplified the configuration process and added the possibility to check the correctness of the entered data for the connection to the target database.

What is more, we have added the function of generating a migration report for MySQL, MariaDB and forks targets, so that customers can evaluate the migration results in details.


The new features were added for the following directions:
  • Oracle to MySQL: improved SELECT with UNION\UNION ALL, date difference and date add conversion.
  • Oracle to Java: improved conversion of CURSOR FOR UPDATE, LENGTH function, EXIT WHEN NOT FOUND exception.
