Firebird to SQL DB Migration

We needed to migrate our client’s current database which was Firebird to SQL Server (new DB). While the client’s landscape was complicated ( with roughly 250 tables and 200+ stored procedures and triggers) with given table structure and customized triggers and schemas, iSpirer utility helped to achieve our objective in a hassle-free way. We did evaluated lot of other utilities available but iSpirer was the only one which supported all triggers and schemas. It helped us to save a lot of manual efforts (migration of each SQL objects) and was a cost effective solution in the end. The team and support functions of iSpirer were very responsive to all our queries and collaboration with them was really a seamless experience. I would highly recommend their product (utility) for any database migration related projects. Thanking again Ispirer team for all the support !

Pros:

1. Tool is very user friendly to operate and installation is quick and easy2. Customization is easy to meet the project requirements without affect the other functionalities 3. Good for simple code conversions

Cons:

1. Complex functionalities (Ex. handling multiple cursors, variable data types, batch processing and dynamic SQLs and updates) are not addressed in code conversion which lead to more manual efforts2. Support team was expecting equivalent solution in Teradata for Oracle functions which were not converted properly in the beginning

COBOL to Java conversion

We conducted a project for a major Japanese supplier to convert COBOL batch programs of about 400K lines to Java.The conversion was performed using the Ispirer tool, and the project proceeded with the policy of manually addressing the missing parts.Before the project started, whole conversion was performed in advance and problems were identified preliminarily, major problems were addressed by customizing the tool in advance.Without Ispirer's tool, it would have been impossible to complete the project within the eight-month time frame.Using Ispirer tool to convert COBOL to Java this time, we will never be converting COBOL to Java from scratch for similar projects in the future.I believe we will continue to use Ispirer's tools for similar projects in the future.

Pros:

1. Ispirer Java library for COBOLThe tool converts to Java based on the Java library that Ispirer delivers with the tool for COBOL specific data types such as PICTURE type and other COBOL specific circumstances, so the accuracy of conversion is high.2. Extension of the tool (which is called customization)For example, in this project, the user was accessing Oracle using a special library that allows SQL access to the database to be coded as if it were a regular text file.But when rewriting to Java, we needed to rewrite it as JDBC access. This was necessary and we had some tool customizaions on this.This was very helpful because the tool was able to cover a large portion of this issue by customizing the tool.Ispirer was very helpful in consulting the conversion specifications for such customization, and was very quick and detailed in its response.

Cons:

I think it is better to say that it is not a demerit but a point to be noted on the basic premise that a tool cannot convert 100% perfectly.In the case of conversion from COBOL to Java, performance problems may occur in the converted Java. This is largely due to the structure of individual programs, so it has to be handled manually.The secret of success may be to verify the performance at an early stage of a project.Other than this, I have no particular complaints.

Reasons for choosing Ispirer

Since our client liked the product.

Best and most intelligent tool in the category

Ispirer is the best tool we found in the Database migration category. It does not just blindly do the pattern based migrations and rather applies good intelligence in doing so. With the awesome support from Ispirer team, we were able to customize some rules to our liking and it delivered perfect results. Using the flexibility offered by the tool, we were able to migrate databases with thousands of objects, with good speed through CLI options. The best part is that once the configurations are tried in test environments, we could simply breeze through our Production migrations without any extra efforts. The proactiveness of the Ispirer sales team and responsiveness of technical team made it a perfect DB migration experience. One thing which can be improved is speed of data migration, when BLOBs are present with high data volume. In general, for migration of couple of hundreds GBs of data (without strict downtime requirements) tool can be of help.

Pros:

Ispirer has pre-assessment tool which really helps to get the exact idea about the conversion and the costing. The conversion tool is very easy to install and use. We had to do some customization and some changes in the tool as some of the procedures were not getting converted properly. Ispirer team was very helpful and providing fixes time to time.

Cons:

PostgreSQL migration success

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Our migration from MSSQL server to PostgreSQL was facilitated by ISpirer. We are very happy and content with the support we got from ISpirer. We had some SQL Server specific constructions in our database, like the use of HiearchyIDs for instance, that simply do not exist in the PostgreSQL world. But ISpirer helped us work around this, by writing a customization that, in this case, leverages the use of the PostgreSQL function ltree. Another thing we encountered is that the migration was initially quite slow. It turned out we were not using the native mssql drivers in our DSN. After specific instructions from ISpirer the duration of a migration was reduced from 8 hours to 20-30 minutes. Because we have hundreds of databases that need to be migrated, automating the whole process was key for us. ISpirer helped us achieve just that, through their excellent tooling, customizations, and support.

Cons:

The migration was quite slow when using the wrong ODBC driver. It could have been more clear that that would be the effect when choosing a DSN.

Pricing not available upfront. I understand that their business model is quota based so they need estimate of how you will use it, but they could provide a chart of rough costs so you can know what you might need to expect

Reasons for switching to Ispirer

I tried using a bunch of other tools, most of them were open-source CLI tools, the few tools that were available for purchase had terrible demos or just didn't convert things correctly
