POST-CONVERSION AUDIT MANUAL

Post-Conversion Verification: What to Audit After Converting SQL Server

By Xtra ERP Quality Assurance Team•Published August 2026•6 min read

A conversion is not complete until the target has been independently verified. This audit guide explains the checks that demonstrate data fidelity and operational readiness.

Reconcile rows and hashes

Compare exact row counts across every table and use deterministic SHA-256 hashes for important keys, balances, and timestamps. Do not rely on metadata estimates alone.

Check constraints and database integrity

Run DBCC CHECKCONSTRAINTS and DBCC CHECKDB on the target. Confirm that foreign keys and check constraints are enabled and trusted, and investigate every reported issue.

Confirm identities and preserve evidence

Verify identity seeds and sequence positions, then keep the HTML and JSON audit reports with the final verified BAK for deployment and compliance records.

Deliver a verified result

Run the conversion with row, hash, constraint, and restore checks built into the workflow.
