Question #: 276
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Database - Specialty Questions]

A company wants to move its on-premises Oracle database to an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL DB cluster. The source database includes 500 GB of data. 900 stored procedures and functions, and application source code with embedded SQL statements. The company understands there are some database code objects and custom features that may not be automatically converted and may need some manual intervention. Management would like to complete this migration as fast as possible with minimal downtime.

Which tools and approach should be used to meet these requirements?

  • A. Use AWS DMS to perform data migration and to automatically create all schemas with Aurora PostgreSQL
  • B. Use AWS DMS to perform data migration and use the AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) to automatically generate the converted code
  • C. Use the AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) to automatically convert all types of Oracle schemas to PostgreSQL and migrate the data to Aurora
  • D. Use the dump and pg_dump utilities for both data migration and schema conversion

B. AWS DMS for data migration and AWS SCT for generating the converted code "AWS SCT will automatically assess and convert the source database schema and a majority of the database code objects, including views, stored procedures, and functions, to a format compatible with the target database. Any objects that cannot be automatically converted are clearly marked as action items with prescriptive instructions on how to convert, so that they can be manually converted to complete the migration. AWS SCT can also scan your application source codes for embedded SQL statements and convert them as part of a database-schema-conversion project. During this process, AWS SCT performs cloud-native code optimization by converting legacy Oracle and SQL Server functions to their equivalent AWS service, helping to modernize the applications at the same time of database migration. Once schema conversion is complete, it can help migrate data from a range of data warehouses to Amazon Redshift using built-in data migration agents." https://aws.amazon.com/dms/schema-conversion-tool/

B Using AWS DMS for data migration is a suitable approach as it can migrate data from Oracle to Aurora PostgreSQL with minimal downtime. However, it does not address the issue of converting the Oracle code to PostgreSQL. Using AWS SCT can help with the conversion of stored procedures and functions, as well as application source code with embedded SQL statements. AWS SCT also allows for customization and manual intervention where needed. It can generate the converted code and provide recommendations for any manual changes required.
