Copy Data from BDE to MySQL Automatically
Move data from BDE to MySQL 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 BDE data migrated to MySQL in about 10 minutes. I expected it to take hours."
BDE Data Migration Example
Read data from BDE, transform and map the fields, then write the results directly to MySQL.

How to Copy Data from BDE to MySQL - Step-by-Step
1. Launch Advanced ETL Processor
- Create a BDE Connection by selecting the alias or specifying database parameters
- Create a MySQL Connection using hostname, port, database name, username, and password
2. Create a New Transformation
Right-click on a transformation group and select New to create a new workflow.
3. Configure Reader
- Double-click the reader object
- Select the BDE connection
- Choose a source table or enter a custom SQL SELECT query
4. Configure Writer
- Double-click the writer object
- Select your MySQL connection
- Choose the target table and set the action (insert, update, or replace)
5. Map and Transform Fields
- Map BDE fields to MySQL columns
- Apply transformations or conversions as needed (e.g., date formatting, numeric precision, UTF-8 text encoding)
6. Run the Transformation
Click the Run button to execute the transfer. Logs will display real-time progress and any issues encountered.
Business usage examples
