Database Migration includes both upgrading an older version of Oracle Database to a newer version and also migrating from a non-Oracle system to Oracle. In either case, Varun Jain, Inc. can help you take full advantage of your new Oracle database. Currently, the newest database release of Oracle is 11g (as of December 2007). Oracle 11g has a number of very useful features including enhancements in performance, management, and scalability. However, if you are upgrading to Oracle 11g, it is important to design your architecture and business processes to utilize the new features efficiently. There have been many substantial changes and new features that need to be evaluated based on the specific business requirements and existing architecture. We offer database consulting services to assist you with your upgrade or migration. Our staff are experts in Oracle 11g and many of them have published articles and books that guide Oracle professionals in using the new features in Oracle 11g.
If you are migrating from a non-Oracle system to Oracle then there are many additional things to consider. Converting database procedures and packages from a legacy system to Oracle can be a problematic task for developers who are used to working on the legacy system. The Oracle database can be extremely robust and scalable. However, that does not mean that processes can be simply converted into PL/SQL and Oracle objects and expected to work better in Oracle. Instead, the developer needs to be an experienced Oracle developer who understands how to optimally convert processes based on Oracle's specific architecture.
Our consultants commonly work with many databases including SQL Server, Sybase, MySQL, and DB2. Each of our employees understands Oracle's unique architecture and how it is different from other databases. This experience helps us to optimally convert tasks from legacy systems to Oracle. Upgrading to Oracle should be an exciting and positive experience. Our consultants will facilitate your migration and ensure that your company takes advantage of what Oracle has to offer.
