Is it possible to migrate connections from OraDeveloper 2.5 to dbForge 3?

Thanks

Unfortunately, dbForge Studio doesn't have an automatic way to migrate connections. We plan to implement such feature in the future.
But you can do this mannualy:
- export registry branch HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CoreLab\OraDeveloper\Connections to a reg file using regedit
- replace text
'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CoreLab\OraDeveloper\Connections'
to
'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Devart\dbForge Common Settings\Connections\Oracle'
using a text editor
- replace text
'"Database"="cf3d7701-0f82-41f6-a83e-a4e9a71bd3ab"'
to
'"Database"="a8c9171f-1f52-4698-85d8-8f58f0b59e75"'
using a text editor
- just execute this reg file in Windows to add information about connections to Windows registry.
