Can I Migrate My Database to MySQL and What Will It Cost?
Many companies are trying to save money and increase the reliability of their systems by moving from proprietary database systems on proprietary operating systems to MySQL and reliable open source operating systems and applications. MySQL has helping many users migrate to MySQL and as a result, has created a repeatable process for determining what databases systems should be migrated to MySQL and how to estimate the effort for the migration. This presentation will cover the best practices used by the MySQL database migration experts based on their experience with actual migrations in the field.
Key topics include:
- How to determine if a database is appropriate to move to MySQL?
- What tools are used to do the migration?
- What is the assessment process?
- What are the major risks to consider in a migration?
Common metrics used to scope a typical migration project.
The tasks in a common migration project.
