Migrating Oracle to Azure SQL and PostgreSQL
Workshop
In this workshop, you gain a better understanding of how to conduct a site analysis for a customer to compare cost, performance, and level of effort required to migrate from Oracle to SQL Server or PostgreSQL. There are two migration paths included in this workshop and the training files are named appropriately for each path. Both workshops share a common customer Oracle migration scenario. Each workshop path has tailored database platform migration steps to assist you in this learning journey. You will evaluate the dependent applications and reports that need to be updated and come up with a migration plan. Also, you will design and build a proof of concept (POC) to help the customer take advantage of new SQL Server or PostgreSQL features to improve performance and resiliency.
For those students focusing on the SQL Server migration, you will explore ways to migrate from an old version of SQL Server to the latest version and consider the impact of migrating from on-premises to the cloud.
At the end of this workshop, you will be better able to conduct a site analysis for compare cost, performance, and level of effort required to migrate from Oracle to SQL Server or PostgreSQL. Given the time required to complete the workshop, it is recommended the student and trainer pick a single migration path.
Whiteboard Design Session
In this whiteboard design session, you work with a group to design a proof of concept (POC) for conducting a site analysis for a customer to compare cost, performance, and level of effort required to migrate from Oracle to SQL Server or PostgreSQL. You evaluate the dependent applications and reports that need to be updated and come up with a migration plan. Also, you review ways to help the customer take advantage of the database features to improve performance and resiliency. For the SQL Server path, you explore ways to migrate from an old version of SQL Server to the latest version and consider the impact of migrating from on-premises to the cloud.
At the end of this whiteboard design session, you will be better able to design a database migration plan and execute the steps.
Hands-on Lab
In this hands-on lab, you implement a proof of concept (POC) for conducting a site analysis for a customer to compare cost, performance, and migration level of effort. You will evaluate the dependent applications and reports that need to be updated and come up with a migration plan. Also, you help the customer take advantage of new features to improve performance and resiliency and perform a migration+.
At the end of this hands-on lab, you will be better able to design and build a database migration plan and implement any required application changes associated with changing database technologies.
