Convert ACCDB to SQLITE

Verified by Adam B.· reviewed by FE Editorial ·updated Aug 19, 2026
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert ACCDB to SQLITE?
Yes - ACCDB converts to SQLITE.

On Windows, Full Convert Enterprise handles the migration directly with automatic data-type mapping. A free alternative is MDB Viewer Plus, which exports all tables to a single .sqlite file via File > Export > SQLite. Only tables and their data move across - Access forms, reports, macros, and VBA have no equivalent in .sqlite.

Why convert ACCDB to SQLITE?

SQLite is a single-file, serverless database supported on every platform without a driver installation. Moving from .accdb to SQLite makes the data accessible on macOS and Linux, removes the dependency on the Access Database Engine, and gives you a database that most programming languages can read directly.

How to convert ACCDB to SQLITE

Full Convert Enterprise APP

Set the source to Microsoft Access and point it at your .accdb, set the destination to SQLite, and run the migration. Full Convert maps Access data types to SQLite types automatically.

Navicat Premium APP

Use Navicat's data transfer wizard, set the source to your .accdb and the target to a new .sqlite file. All selected tables are migrated in one pass.

MDB Viewer Plus FREE

Open your .accdb in MDB Viewer Plus, go to File > Export > SQLite, and choose a save location. All tables are exported to a single .sqlite file.

Quality & what to watch

  • Only table data transfers; SQLite has no concept of Access forms, reports, macros, or VBA modules - those objects are left behind.
  • On Windows, .accdb files require the free Microsoft Access Database Engine to be installed before most third-party tools can read them.
  • mdbtools (a free command-line utility for Linux and macOS) can export Access tables to CSV for import into SQLite, but its support for the newer ACE engine used by .accdb can be incomplete.

Frequently asked questions

Do Access queries transfer to SQLite?
No - Access-specific query syntax and stored queries have no direct SQLite equivalent; you will need to rewrite queries for SQLite.
Will relationships and foreign keys be preserved?
Some tools attempt to map Access relationships to SQLite foreign keys, but results vary; verify the schema after migration.
Is the original `.accdb` modified during conversion?
No - all tools read the .accdb as a source and write a separate .sqlite output file; the original is untouched.
Can I convert on macOS or Linux?
The free mdbtools command-line utility can export Access tables to CSV on macOS and Linux, which you can then import into SQLite, though ACE engine support may be incomplete.
