Typical Oracle or SQL Server to PostgreSQL migrations involve several essential steps—starting with setting up the right tools. These might include AWS Schema Conversion Tool (for AWS), Google Cloud DMS Conversion Workspace (for GCP), along with tools like Ora2Pg and PostgreSQL clients for data loading and validation.
Once the tools are in place, the next phase is configuration—tuning settings as per your chosen toolchain—and then initiating the conversion and deployment process. This journey includes multiple sub-steps, and teams often find it challenging to complete even the initial phase of migration. As a result, a significant amount of time and effort is consumed early on, often without a clear sense of progress.
What if you could start your migration with all set up done and an automated solution handling schema conversion, code transformation, and data validation? No repetitive steps. Just a ready-to-use environment that accelerates migration, saves time, and reduces errors.
DCGMigrator is built to accelerate migrations and let your team focus on what truly matters—manual remediation, if any—right from Day 1.
