ESF Database Migration Toolkit vs. SQL Server Data Access Components vs. SQL Workbench vs. Sequelize Comparison Chart

It dramatically cuts the effort, cost, and risk of migrating to/from any of the following database formats: Oracle, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, IBM DB2, IBM Informix, InterSystems Caché, Teradata, Visual Foxpro, SQLite, FireBird, InterBase, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, Paradox, Lotus, dBase, CSV/Text and transfer any ODBC DSN data source to them. This software can help you quickly migrate a variety of data, structures and objects, saving you a lot of time and money. It will automatically migrate all table structures, data, schemas(Oracle, SQL Server 2000 or higher, PostgreSQL, IBM DB2 and so), LOBs(Large Text/Binary Objects), primary/foreign keys, indexes, auto-increment(serial), comments and default values and more. You can migrate data between two different character sets(e.g.: UTF8, CP1250 etc.) and the software automatically convert different data encodings. You can also change the field name/data type/nullable/precision/numscale or filter data when migrating.

SQL Workbench/J is a free, DBMS-independent, cross-platform SQL query tool. It is written in Java and should run on any operating system that provides a Java Runtime Environment. Its main focus is on running SQL scripts (either interactively or as a batch) and export/import features. Graphical query building or more advanced DBA tasks are not the focus and are not planned. Powerful export command to write text files (aka "CSV"), XML, HTML or SQL (including BLOB data). All user tables can be exported into a directory with a single command. Export files can be compressed "on-the-fly". Powerful text, XML and spreadsheet import. A set of files (including compressed files) can be imported from a directory with a single command. Foreign key constraints are detected to insert the data in the correct order. Compare two database schemas for differences. The XML output can be transformed into the approriate SQL ALTER statements using XSLT.
