Migration
Services
PostgreSQL
is a premium-quality database. It has all of the popular
features of widely-used commercial databases, and converting
from an existing database can be a no-fuss, straightforward
process. Fujitsu, as an established world leader in
IT services and experienced provider of PostgreSQL technology
and services, can assist businesses in making the change.
The
4 key steps in the migration process are:
| 1 |
Impact
investigation and migration planning
Familiarization with PostgreSQL, via freely available
comprehensive documentation and case studies, is
the first step in facilitating a planned migration. |
| 2 |
Migrate
the database model/schema to PostgreSQL
Using the specialized tools available and the PostgreSQL
customization framework, an efficient replication
and verification of the existing database schema
can be readily carried out |
| 3 |
Migrate
data
PostgreSQL can import data in a variety of formats,
aided by tools which carry out data conversions
as needed. |
| 4 |
Verification
This important step involves checking that all data
has been transferred correctly, followed by system
testing, and testing the operation of the relevant
PostgreSQL interfaces and business applications
using the database.
Verification via automated testing frameworks with
subsequent user acceptance testing are the final
tasks in ensuring that the migration has been successful
and the system is production ready. |
