MIGRATION FROM MYSQL TO EDB POSTGRES USING MTK

by bensonyerima

MySQL is an open-source relational database management system. MySQL Database Service is a fully managed database service to deploy cloud-native applications using the world’s most popular open source database.

In this demo, we will not be going into understanding mysql and features. but this will be based on basic installation and mostly performing a migration using edbpostgres migration toolkit (MTK). If you want to learning more about MYSQL, you can get more information from here

==INSTALL MIGRATION TOOLKIT

[root@pgmaster ~]# yum install edb-migrationtoolkit

Download the mysql-connector-java-..*-bin.jar file and place it in the \jre\lib\ext directory (for example /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.8.0/lib/ext/)under your Migration Toolkit server. When the .jar file is in place, you can establish a connection to a MySQL server with Migration Toolkit.
