Data Migration Is Easy. Data Validation Is Not.
Tuesday, April 21 at 14:50–15:35
Migrating from Oracle or DB2 to PostgreSQL offers greater flexibility and significant cost advantages, but only if the migrated data can be fully trusted. Even small, undetected data discrepancies can lead to serious business and operational consequences.
This presentation focuses on the often-overlooked challenge of data validation in cross-platform database migrations. It examines why organizations struggle to obtain reliable validation guarantees and why traditional, checklist-based approaches frequently fall short.
The session also introduces modern data validation practices and presents OMrun as an example of how data validation can evolve from a one-time verification effort into a controlled, repeatable, and auditable process that supports long-term confidence in migrated data.
