Migrating Oracle databases to PostgreSQL or MySQL with AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) can present a range of challenges, from unsupported data types to limitations in automated code conversion and potential performance issues. AWS SCT offers powerful capabilities to automate these migrations, but it may not always deliver optimal results or handle complex Oracle constructs efficiently. In these cases, manual adjustments and optimizations are required to ensure a seamless transition to the target database. At ABCloudz, our team has […]

When migrating from Oracle to PostgreSQL, one of the most important differences to consider is the treatment of null and empty string values. In Oracle, null and empty string are treated as the same entity, but in PostgreSQL, they are distinct. Failing to account for this distinction during migration can lead to logical errors and unexpected behavior in the database. This post will explore key nuances and demonstrate how to handle these differences effectively. Comparing null and empty string In […]

When working with PostgreSQL, database developers may encounter a limitation when attempting to create routines with more than 100 arguments. PostgreSQL enforces this restriction by setting FUNC_MAX_ARGS to 100 during the server build. Although this limitation is rarely an issue, complex procedures, particularly those migrated from Oracle, may have a significantly higher number of arguments. This blog post outlines a solution to handle such situations by utilizing composite data types to bypass the argument limit, ensuring routine compilation without significant […]
