We are faced with database migrations very often and have to deal with a variety of issues like data types compatibility, version issues, database size and restrictions regarding downtime, performance on the new platforms, special requirements associated with the application to name just a few. A database migration if well planned and executed can be very smooth and seamless and we can even have a value add of – increased performance on the destination platform or can end up with an excruciatingly long and tedious process plagued with errors and failures – in short a nightmare. After having managed many migrations from variety of database technologies, one does assemble a few main tasks to focus on and tips and tricks which will ensure a smooth migration. Using a couple of use cases from federal space I would like to highlight some methodologies that I have followed to create a repeatable process for Sybase to Oracle migration.

Discover the benefits Oracle Database customers can anticipate when moving to a Power10 based system as we uncover the design of IBM's latest generation of Power.

During this session, we will discuss advantages of the new Power10 based system which include:

Evaluating the migration of older Database versions to a current version
Managing your workload requirements when moving to the newer and faster architecture
Improving reliability
Enhancing Security

This session will leverage our practical hands on experience on how a Power10 based system can help you when moving from Database version 11gR2 to 19c to assure ongoing support from Oracle.
