Applications often fail after a manual conversion when Identity properties or DEFAULT constraints were not recreated. Inserts can then fail because required numeric or bit columns receive NULL.
How SQL Version Bridge protects inserts
The Agent preserves original Identity seed and increment values and safe source defaults. In tables-and-data mode it can add a reported DEFAULT 0 only to eligible NOT NULL numeric and bit columns, while excluding ID, computed, key, and unsafe columns.
Start with a compatibility preflight
Inventory tables, columns, collations, keys, indexes, views, procedures, triggers, data types, and version-specific features before creating the target database. Keep the source connection read-only.
Build the target and move the data
Create a new target database and generate T-SQL definitions for the target engine. Transfer rows in controlled batches, preserve identity values, and order dependencies so constraints can be recreated safely.
Rebuild, verify, and deliver
Recreate supported programmable objects, document deferred items, compare row counts and SHA-256 hashes, run DBCC checks, and create a native BAK after RESTORE VERIFYONLY or a test restore succeeds.
Convert your database with a guided workflow
Replace fragile manual scripts with inspection, progress tracking, and evidence-backed verification.
