There are multiple reasons why you and your data might dream about leaving old database systems behind and finding a new home in PostgreSQL. Some engines are no longer actively maintained, while others may burden your company with the unexpected growth of license costs. But migrating entire database ecosystems from platforms like Sybase ASE, Informix, SQL Anywhere, Oracle, or MS SQL Server to PostgreSQL can present significant challenges far beyond simple data transfer and might seem intimidating. Successful migration requires a deep understanding of differences between legacy systems and PostgreSQL. Talk dives into the common pitfalls and complexities of these migrations, explores various migration strategies and use cases and introduces our new migration tool: credativ-pg-migrator. Discover how our solution can help you automate this intricate process.
