Moving an application from one database platform to another can be a painful process. SQL syntax changes, incompatible data types, stored procedures, triggers, views, and thousands of rows of data can turn a simple migration into a major project.

AIDbSwap is an open-source tool designed to make cross-database migration easier with the help of AI.

Instead of manually rewriting database objects and migration scripts, AIDbSwap provides a guided workflow to convert, review, migrate, and validate database workloads.

From One Database to Another

AIDbSwap is built to help with migrations between popular database platforms, including Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.

The tool can assist with converting database objects such as:

• Tables and indexes
• Views
• Functions and procedures
• Triggers
• SQL scripts
• Data

One of its key ideas is simple: don’t blindly migrate database code. Review it first.

AIDbSwap can generate target DDL and provide a preview before changes are applied. This gives developers and database administrators an opportunity to review and approve the conversion.

Where AI Helps

Database migrations often require more than simple syntax replacement. Stored procedures, functions, and other database-specific code may need significant changes to work correctly on another platform.

This is where AI-assisted conversion can help. AIDbSwap uses AI to assist with translating complex database logic while keeping the migration process under the user’s control.

A Safer Migration Workflow

AIDbSwap follows a practical workflow:

Convert → Preview → Approve → Migrate → Validate

The validation step is particularly important. After migration, users can verify results such as row counts and other migration details instead of simply assuming everything worked.

Built for Developers and DBAs

AIDbSwap provides both a web-based migration wizard and command-line capabilities, making it useful for interactive migrations as well as automation.

The project is open source and available on GitHub.

AIDbSwap brings AI into one of the most tedious parts of application modernization: database migration.

If you’re planning to move workloads between Oracle, PostgreSQL, or MySQL, AIDbSwap is worth exploring.
