Convert Paradox to MySQL online

Add file

Input file

Please upload the files of your Paradox database directory. The file extensions are: .DB (for table), .PX (for primary index), .MB (for memos), .VAL (for validation), .TV (for formatting) and others.

Max file size for web uploads: 50 GB

Output file

The API will return a ZIP archive that contains a .SQL file. This .SQL is a MySQL dump file and can be restored into your MySQL installation.

Conversion methods

Using our Java tool

Download the RebaseData client Java tool . To convert your database using RebaseData, run the following command: 

                    java -jar client-0.0.5.jar convert --output-format=mysql database-files.. output-dir/
Using CURL

Let's imagine we want to convert the EMPLOYEE table of the paradoxReader's sample files. We would have to upload all files starting with "EMPLOYEE", namely EMPLOYEE.DB, EMPLOYEE.F10, EMPLOYEE.PX and EMPLOYEE.VAL. The curl command would look like this: 

curl -F 'files[]=@EMPLOYEE.DB' -F 'files[]=@EMPLOYEE.F10' -F 'files[]=@EMPLOYEE.PX' -F 'files[]=@EMPLOYEE.VAL' 'https://www.rebasedata.com/api/v1/convert?outputFormat=mysql&errorResponse=zip' -o output.zip
The file output.zip will contain a MySQL .SQL file with your data or the error message if something went wrong.

Options

How long does it take?

The conversion process takes between 15 seconds and multiple minutes. It depends on the size of the database.
