Some errors that could bring to the conflict on a destination database are easy to eliminate by a small reconfiguration of the conversion process issues in one touch.

Conditional data migration
Manage your database conversion with the help of integrated data filters. Define filtering conditions and retrieve only the specific data that you need for conversion. Due to our data filters you get more control on data migration process.

Workaround problems with firewalls and access rights
Use our workarounds as MySQL Dump and PHP Script if you don`t have a direct access to MySQL server! MySQL Dump can be used if you have no direct access to MySQL server, but can execute SQL-scripts, for example through phpMyAdmin or other tools. PHP Script is used if you dont have a direct access to the MySQL server, but have an ftp and PHP access. DBConvert for MS Excel & MySQL generates a PHP-script that contains database info inside and can be executed on the server to put database there.
