How does the conversion work if Access files can't be created in a browser?

The tool generates a complete automation package: a PowerShell script that uses the Jet/ACE OLE DB provider on your Windows machine to create the Access database, build all tables with proper types, import CSV data, set up relationships, and validate row counts. You run the script once and get a ready-to-use .mdb or .accdb file.

Which Access versions are supported?

You can target Jet 4.0 (.mdb — Access 2000–2003) or ACE 12–16 (.accdb — Access 2007 through Microsoft 365). The tool adjusts the OLE DB provider string and file format accordingly.

Do I need Access installed to run the script?

You need the matching OLE DB provider, not necessarily the full Access application. The Microsoft Access Database Engine Redistributable (free download) provides the ACE drivers. Jet 4.0 is built into Windows.

SQLite to Access Converter — Database Migration Package Generator

Drop a SQLite database file and generate a complete automation package to create a Microsoft Access database. Choose your target version — Jet 4 (.mdb) or ACE 12–16 (.accdb). Includes a PowerShell script, CSV data exports, relationship setup, and row-count validation. All parsed locally in your browser.

What Does This Tool Do?

The SQLite to Access Converter reads a SQLite database file entirely in your browser using sql.js (a WebAssembly build of SQLite). It inspects the schema — tables, columns, data types, primary keys, foreign keys, indexes — and generates a complete automation package that creates a Microsoft Access database on your Windows machine.

Since Access database files (.mdb / .accdb) are a proprietary binary format that can't be constructed in a browser, the tool generates a PowerShell script that uses ADOX (ActiveX Data Objects Extensions) and ADO to create the database, build all tables with proper Access types, import data from CSV files, set up relationships, and validate row counts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my SQLite database get uploaded to a server?▼

No. The tool uses sql.js (a WebAssembly build of SQLite) to read your database entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.

Why does this generate a script package instead of an actual .accdb file?▼

Access databases (.mdb / .accdb) are a proprietary binary format that requires the Jet or ACE database engine to create. This engine is only available on Windows, so the tool generates a PowerShell script that uses the engine on your machine to build the database with full fidelity — proper types, relationships, and data.

Do I need Microsoft Access installed?▼

You need the matching OLE DB provider. For Jet 4.0 (.mdb), this is built into Windows. For ACE (.accdb), you can install either the full Access application or the free Microsoft Access Database Engine Redistributable.

How do I run the PowerShell script?▼

Extract the ZIP, open PowerShell, navigate to the extracted folder, and run: .\Create_Access_DB.ps1. If execution policies block the script, run: Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass first.

Does it handle foreign keys and relationships?▼

Yes. SQLite foreign keys are read and converted to Access relationships using the ADOX Catalog object. The relationships are created after all tables and data are loaded to avoid constraint violations during import.

Can I customize the type mappings?▼

Yes. After loading a file, a Type Mapping panel shows every detected SQLite type with a dropdown to choose the Access equivalent. Your overrides are applied when the package is generated.
