# Convert gINT Database to GeoDinML

## Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of converting gINT database files into GeoDinML. The gINT converter will convert the groups **PROJECT**, **LITHOLOGY**, **POINT**, and **SAMPLING** into GeoDinML format. If any groups or parameters are missing, adjustments must be made to the gINT database file before conversion.

## Conversion Process

* Open the gINT Converter
* Choose your gINT database. It can be either a gINT database (.gpj) or a Microsoft Access database (.mdb or .accdb)

* The conversion process will begin automatically. The gINT converter will convert the groups **PROJECT**, **LITHOLOGY**, **POINT**, and **SAMPLING** into GeoDinML format.

* Once the conversion is complete, save the GeoDinML file to the desired location

## Troubleshooting

If the uploaded gINT database does not match the mapping schema, the gINT converter will provide information indicating which mandatory groups or parameters are missing.

You can then adjust the corresponding tables and parameters within the gINT database file either directly in gINT or by renaming the file extension to `.mdb` or `.accdb` and making the necessary changes in Microsoft Access.

## Mandatory Groups and Parameters

The following gINT groups and parameters are mandatory for the conversion:

| **Group**     | **Parameters**           |

| **PROJECT**   | Name                     |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.geodin.com/integrations-and-plug-ins/introduction/convert-gint-databases-to-geodinml.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
