Spectral Core, great product, even better Service!

June 17, 2009 · No CommentsComments Feed

For a While now, I've been contemplating and evaluating a plethora of Database Conversion Scripts, ranging from ESF Database Express to Spectral Core Full Convert Enterprise and everything inbetween.

Of all the products I tried, Spectral Core was indeed the best one I had used. After Exiting my Trial Version, there's a nice little comments form asking for your feedback. Well I filled out, stating tha tI had no problems with the product, and that I'd buy it, just that it was too Expensive (I just didn't have the $300 for it...but I did have a small budget to work with) for me to Purchase.

Well, within 10-20 minutes later I have this email in my mailbox from them, asking me what price range would I be suitable with to purchase the system, I nearly insulted him with the Price I had recommended to him (I later discovered that the Person with whom I was commnicating with was the owner), however I have to say that he did indeed agree with me that the price that I was quoting (which was the MAXIMUM of MY Budget for said software type) was indeed somewhat disagreeable.

Well, an email later I was offered a substanital discount (nevertheless still out of my budget).

All things aside, we worked out an arrangement for a suitable and agreeable price, and the owner of the Company has been very very responsive to my emails.

Now, onto the product itself...

Spectral Core's Full Convert Enterprise (at the time of this writting Version 4.6) is quite a superior Database Conversion Product. This Product Suite converts the following databases:

Source databases

  

Target databases
  • Microsoft Access
  • dBase
  • FoxPro
  • Microsoft Excel
  • Interbase
  • Firebird
  • Lotus 1-2-3
  • MySQL
  • ODBC compliant sources
  • Oracle
  • Paradox
  • PostgreSQL
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • Microsoft SQL Server Compact
  • Delimited text files (CSV)
  • XML
 Conversion
  • Microsoft Access
  • Microsoft Excel
  • MySQL
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • Microsoft SQL Server Compact
  • Oracle
  • PostgreSQL
  • Interbase
  • Firebird
  • Delimited text files (CSV)

It has a very easy to view and use interface and does the database conversion (In my case currently MySQL to SQL Server and Vice versa) painlessly and completely (as compared to others I've used that don't keep the proper data structures or table definitions).

If you are in need of a Database Conversion Tool that you don't want to worry about or have to take extra steps after the conversion, I STRONGLY, unabidedly RECOMMEND Spectral Core's FULL CONVERT Enterprise.

Now this may come off as a shameless plug, but let me reassure you, It is not. It is difficult in this day and age to:

1- Find aHalf Decent Conversion Program

2- Find a Company that actively support aforementioned Conversion Program

Spectral Core happens to do both.

I'm telling you as a user of the software, and a REAL WORLD Devleloper, this suite will indeed make your Conversions much easier to accomplish and save you loads of time. This Blog post is no way sponsored by Spectral Core, infact, I've alsways noticed people griping and complaining on their blogs, and not offering much in Praise and Compliment.

I strongly recommend this software suitte to any Web Designer, or Devleoper or Even DBA's out there that require a safe and worry-free suite to converting thier Database from one Type to another...

If you're searching for a suite to make assist in cutting down your development time, why not...
