Database Migration Lifecycle<\/span><\/h2>\n

Analysis and Evaluation Process<\/span><\/h3>\n

Determining the scope of the analysis and evaluation process, which is the first and most important process, risk analysis, return on investment analysis, and the minimization of downtime form the basis of the migration plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scoping<\/span><\/h4>\n

When deciding which of your applications and databases will be subject to migration, you should consider several factors. If this is your company's first PostgreSQL migration, you can start with a less demanding, lower-risk migration. The experience you gain will ensure you are comfortable migrating your high-volume servers. If you are experienced with Oracle, you will find that you adapt to PostgreSQL very easily. If you do not feel comfortable enough, you can also introduce the step of hiring experienced database administrators (DBAs).<\/span><\/p>\n

During database migration operations, you must also consider the applications that use the database. In general, for an in-house application or website where you can modify the source code, migration to PostgreSQL can be performed very easily. Since a commercial software product developed by third parties that does not provide support for PostgreSQL may require additional developments, you may experience a troublesome process during migration. The critical issue here arises simply from the use of structures specific only to certain databases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Departmental applications or reporting data marts are low-risk options that enable Postgres migration. Databases that work with multiple databases via ODBC or JDBC connections, or extract, transform, load (ETL) tools are excellent candidates due to very high compatibility and low replacement requirements. <\/span><\/p>\n

Risk Analysis<\/span><\/h4>\n

As with any new project, you may encounter a number of unexpected issues or challenges at every step of the migration process or afterward. The more farsighted and prepared you are for these issues and challenges, the less you will be affected by their consequences. Therefore, having a risk map on hand will enable you to create a sounder plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Analysis of Return on Investment<\/span><\/h4>\n

Conducting a return on investment analysis that significantly influences your database migration decision will motivate you in this process and provide you with the courage you need. <\/span><\/p>\n
