DbSchema vs. ESF Database Migration Toolkit vs. SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) vs. django-mysql Comparison Chart

It dramatically cuts the effort, cost, and risk of migrating to/from any of the following database formats: Oracle, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, IBM DB2, IBM Informix, InterSystems Caché, Teradata, Visual Foxpro, SQLite, FireBird, InterBase, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, Paradox, Lotus, dBase, CSV/Text and transfer any ODBC DSN data source to them. This software can help you quickly migrate a variety of data, structures and objects, saving you a lot of time and money. It will automatically migrate all table structures, data, schemas(Oracle, SQL Server 2000 or higher, PostgreSQL, IBM DB2 and so), LOBs(Large Text/Binary Objects), primary/foreign keys, indexes, auto-increment(serial), comments and default values and more. You can migrate data between two different character sets(e.g.: UTF8, CP1250 etc.) and the software automatically convert different data encodings. You can also change the field name/data type/nullable/precision/numscale or filter data when migrating.

Django-MySQL extends Django’s built-in MySQL and MariaDB support their specific features not available on other databases. A new cache backend that makes use of MySQL’s upsert statement and does compression. Named locks for easy locking of e.g. external resources. Extra checks added to Django’s check framework to ensure your Django and MySQL configurations are optimal. Django-MySQL comes with a number of extensions to QuerySet that can be installed in a number of ways - e.g. adding the QuerySetMixin to your existing QuerySet subclass.
