Relational Database Migration Services
The benefits of modern relational database technology can be diminished by the exorbitant costs of licensing and support fees. If you'd like to be liberated from such costs, Bull can help. How? With PostgreSQL, the award winning, Open Source database! Learn more about PostgreSQL here.
Converting Oracle - Oracle Convert Function
PostgreSQL has features, performance, and reliability that are comparable to any expensive proprietary relational database. So converting Oracle and other proprietary databases to PostgreSQL can produce significant savings.
Bull has worked with PostgreSQL for more than 8 years and successfully completed several database migrations. Some migrations have involved millions of daily transactions and billions of dollars in annual business volume. PostgreSQL is fully up to the challenge of replacing any expensive proprietary relational database. Read some of our success stories here.
As a database migration specialist, Bull can help you move to modern, relational database technology – and save money in the process. We have extensive database migration experience and a methodology for success. Here's an overview:
- First, we work closely with you to understand your needs and your database usage.
- Then we provide a tool for you to run that provides a lot of useful statistics. (Note that this tool has no appreciable effect on database performance.) The output is in plain text, so you're welcome to review it (for assurance that it contains no actual data or other sensitive information) and then send it to us.
- We use this information to create a very specific proposal to provide you with the exact services that you need.
- During the project we work closely with you to make sure we're doing exactly what we agreed to, still meeting your needs, and keeping you informed about progress.
- After testing our work, we then provide the support you need for testing and deploying your new PostgreSQL database. If you prefer, you can do this on our servers, so there's no disruption to your production work.
- When the database migration is complete, you can support your new PostgreSQL database yourself or sign up for Bull support services.
Another way that Bull can help with converting Oracle services involves using a Bull-developed tool for translating your collection of stored procedures. Such procedures originally written in Oracle's proprietary PL/SQL language may present a conversion challenge for some companies – but not so for Bull. Our translation tool changes these procedures to PostgreSQL's open PL/pgSQL language. We can also make other changes using standard SQL features where needed.
This powerful translation tool makes converting Oracle databases that you thought you were locked into now completely doable. It helps to move you from proprietary languages to Open Source languages and to standard SQL. Learn more about Bull’s translation tool here.
