FAQ
What databases do you support?
I support all major databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, MariaDB, Amazon RDS, Aurora, Google Cloud SQL, and Azure SQL. I handle both on-premises and cloud-based databases.
Can you migrate without downtime?
Yes. For most migrations, I use CDC (Change Data Capture) replication to achieve near-zero downtime. The final cutover typically takes only minutes, and I schedule it during your lowest-traffic window.
How do you ensure data integrity?
I perform multiple validation checks including row counts, checksums, schema comparisons, and sample data verification. No migration is complete until data integrity is 100% confirmed.
What if something goes wrong during migration?
Every migration includes a documented rollback plan. If any issue occurs during cutover, I can revert to your original database immediately with no data loss.
How long does a migration take?
Timeline depends on database size and complexity. Small databases take 1-2 days, medium projects take 1-2 weeks, and large enterprise migrations may take 3-4 weeks. I provide exact estimates after assessment.
Do you handle stored procedures and triggers?
Yes. I convert all database objects including tables, views, indexes, constraints, stored procedures, functions, triggers, and sequences. Complex logic is manually reviewed and optimized.
Will my application work after migration?
I test application compatibility before cutover and help identify any queries or code that need adjustment. Most applications work seamlessly with minimal changes.
Do you provide post-migration support?
Yes. All packages include post-migration support for monitoring, troubleshooting, and performance tuning. Extended support is available if needed.
How do you handle large databases?
I have migrated 5TB+ databases using parallel replication with 100+ concurrent tasks. I optimize transfer speeds and schedule migrations to minimize impact on your production systems.
What information do you need to get started?
I need your source and target database platforms, approximate database size, number of schemas/databases, downtime tolerance, and desired timeline. Contact me for a free assessment.
