Copy Data from Access to PostgreSQL Automatically
Move data from Microsoft Access to PostgreSQL without writing scripts or building complex migration processes.
Connect your databases, map and transform your data visually, then run the transfer once or automate it on a schedule.
Typical migration experience: "I installed the software, watched one short video, and had my Access data migrated to PostgreSQL in about 10 minutes. I expected it to take hours."
Access Data Migration Example
Read data from Access, transform and map the fields, then write the results directly to PostgreSQL.

How to Copy Data from Access to PostgreSQL - Step-by-Step
1. Launch Advanced ETL Processor
- Create an ODBC (preferred) or OleDb Connection to your Access database (.mdb or .accdb)
- Create a PostgreSQL Connection with hostname, port, database, username, and password
2. Create a New Transformation
Right-click on any transformation group and select New to start building your data flow.
3. Configure Reader
- Double-click the reader to open Reader Properties
- Select the Access connection
- Choose the source table or write a custom SELECT query
4. Configure Writer
- Double-click the writer to open Writer Properties
- Select the PostgreSQL connection
- Choose the target table and write mode (append, truncate, replace)
5. Map and Transform Fields
- Map Access fields to PostgreSQL columns
- Apply type conversions and business rules as needed
6. Run the Transformation
Click the Run button (green arrow). Monitor the job using logs and on-screen messages to confirm success or handle errors.
Business usage examples
Operations lead
Move database rows through repeatable copy workflows instead of manual exports and imports.
Data team
Map fields between Access, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Salesforce, and other systems.
Compliance owner
Keep source queries, target writes, run logs, and failures visible enough for audit work.
