Data migration from legacy system to oracle
Data migration is describe the process of translating data from one format
to another and is necessary when an organization decides to use a new computing
systems or database management system that is incompatible with the current
system.
Same like the legacy data is a recorded information that exists in current
storage system, and can include database records, spreadsheets, text files,
scanned images etc. These data formats can be migrated to a new system, which
is the process of importing legacy data to a new system. Legacy data migration
can seem like a scary process to a lot of businesses, some of the important
things are included in the legacy mapping process like data dependencies to
other systems, infrastructure dependencies, data location and legal
requirements to keep legacy data available.
Oracle database is the first database designed for enterprise grid
computing, it's the most flexible and cost effective way to manage information
and applications. Oracle can provide support for migrating data from legacy or non-oracle
technologies to oracle. Oracle SQL Developer tool to migrate non-Oracle
databases to Oracle. It facilitate upgrading Oracle Database, we can use the
export and import utilities in Oracle Data Pump to migrate data from one
database to another one. It provides high performance export (expdp) and import
(impdp) utilities.
Data migration programming is as
important as the application programming, also more important than the
application code because it's what preserves the data, and the data is the only
thing of value. This programming is a complex process, that requiring a robust
methodology. The process in this data migration planning guide will help to minimize
the risks in the data migration project.
